Aston Villa boss Paul Lambert is happy with the addition of Gordon Cowans to his coaching staff.
Cowans' presence in the dugout will be a placatory link between the club's management and restless supporters and Lambert spoke in reverent tones.
"He is a really nice guy, he is probably one of the more revered football players at this club along with the other lads that won the European Cup.
"He will come up and do really well. I watched that European Cup final, I knew the Aston Villa team like the back of my hand that year. I also know how much he is well-respected here."
