Michael joined the Club as part of Steven Gerrard's backroom team in November of last year and leaves with the best wishes of everyone at Aston Villa."
Diego Carlos' first words after Villa completed a sensational trade
Diego Carlos has been signed by Aston Villa for an unknown price from Sevilla.
After passing a medical and agreeing on personal terms with the club, the Brazilian has signed a four-year contract. Before deciding to leave the Ramon Sanchez-Pizjuan last month, the 29-year-old was regarded as one of Spain's top centre-backs.
Despite interest from Newcastle United and clubs throughout Europe, Villa emerged victorious in the fight to recruit the defender. He will provide Steven Gerrard's squad with much-needed experience, skill, and leadership ahead of the important 2022/23 Premier League season.
Diego Carlos exposes Coutinho speaks and calls Villa's admission "amazing."
Diego Carlos has completed his transfer to Aston Villa from Sevilla, and the Brazilian has expressed his joy at joining the club.
Carlos joins Steven Gerrard's side as the fifth South American, and the centre-back has revealed that Philippe Coutinho has already congratulated him on the move. Meanwhile, the 29-year-old knows Douglas Luiz, a Brazilian midfielder, from their time together in Tokyo during the Olympic Games.
Carlos aspires to win more after signing with Villa after earning his first senior call-up for his country in 2020. Carlos addressed VillaTV about his own ambitions: "First and foremost, I want to chat with the manager when we begin so that we can discuss and understand what he expects of me and the other players at Aston Villa, and then I'll be able to set my goals based on my decision. I'll bring the zeal. My team can rely on me."

Kamara, a 22-year-old midfielder, joined on a free transfer when his contract with Marseille expired, while Diego Carlos will join Villa after a £26 million deal with Sevilla was reached. According to rumours, Villa will attempt to bolster their team with fresh recruits.
