Martin O'Neill has confirmed that he has settled his dispute with Aston Villa after he surprisingly ended his tenure as manager prior to the recently-completed Premier League season.
O'Neill decided to step down from his post at Villa Park just a few weeks out from the season when he had a disagreement with owner Randy Lerner regarding future transfer plans.
There were a few issues which came about following the Northern Irishman's departure but he told the League Managers Association's official website that a Premier League managers' arbitration hearing had cleared everything up.
"It has taken a long time to deal with this matter but I am pleased that all issues have now been amicably finalised," he said.
"I am very proud to have managed Aston Villa and I wish the club all the best for the future.
"I would also like to thank the LMA and my outstanding legal team, led by Paul Gilroy QC, and Geldards solicitors, for their support and hard work in bringing my case to this very satisfactory conclusion.
"I am now looking forward to the future and getting back into football management."
