# Aston Villa: Fans react to Neil Cutler update

**Steven Gerrard will formally begin his new job as Aston Villa manager on Monday.**

That’s according to reliable reporter [Ashley Preece](https://www.birminghammail.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/aston-villa-steven-gerrard-rangers-22142318), who also shared news on the backroom staff that Gerrard will bring with him to the Midlands.

The 41-year-old is set to be [joined](https://www.birminghammail.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/aston-villa-steven-gerrard-rangers-22142318) by assistant Gary McAllister, first-team coach Michael Beale, head of fitness Jordan Milshom, set-piece coach Tom Culshaw and first-team performance analyst Scott Mason.

He is also set to keep hold of Villa goalkeeping coach Neil Cutler, and a number of the club’s supporters have been reacting to that specific piece of news on social media.

The 45-year-old made the move to Villa back in [2018](https://www.avfc.co.uk/News/2018/11/02/neil-cutler-joins-as-aston-villa-goalkeeping-coach) from West Brom and has worked with numerous shot-stoppers at Bodymoor Heath. The latest is Emiliano Martinez, with the Argentine keeping [18](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/emiliano-martinez/leistungsdaten/spieler/111873) clean sheets in [48](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/emiliano-martinez/leistungsdaten/spieler/111873) appearances for the club.

Cutler looks set to work under Gerrard, with Rangers’ goalkeeping coach Colin Stewart definitely [staying](https://www.heraldscotland.com/sport/19710530.rangers-coaching-staff-set-join-aston-villa-staying-ibrox/) at Ibrox.
