Aston Villa expected to name Remi Garde as new manager on Monday
Villa are expected to confirm Remi Garde as their new boss on Monday, with the Frenchman poised to watch his new side in action at Tottenham.
The former Lyon manager was the No.1 choice to succeed Tim Sherwood and is believed to have thrashed out a deal after talks over the weekend with owner Randy Lerner and chief executive Tom Fox.
He is set to sign a three-year contract after Bastia coach Reginald Ray agreed to become one of his assistants at Villa Park. Ray has been Bastia's assistant coach since 2010.
It is expected 49-year-old Garde will watch from the stands at White Hart Lane with caretaker boss Kevin MacDonald taking charge for the final time.
Canal Plus, the French TV company Garde currently works for, announced on their Sunday night show: "Garde arrives tomorrow."
