Dean Smith insists he hopes Steven Gerrard is successful at Aston Villa.

Smith was sacked by Villa after a disappointing start to the season.

The Englishman wasn't out of work for long as Norwich appointed him to replace Daniel Farke.

And Smith insists he harbours no ill feeling for his former club.

Speaking about Gerrard's appointment, Smith said: "They decided to go with Steven.

"He's obviously been very successful at Rangers and I hope he's very successful at Aston Villa, but obviously not at Norwich City's expense now."
