Bent: Keane exit a sorry loss for Aston Villa

Aston Villa striker Darren Bent is sorry to see Roy Keane quit as assistant manager.

Bent left Villa for Brighton on-loan this week.

Keane's sudden departure, which echoes that of the 2002 World Cup with Ireland, is a "sorry loss", according to Bent.

The striker has signed on loan for Brighton and said: "What people most respected about him was that he would tell you how it was. I can't speak highly enough of him."
