Tim Sherwood has utilised his Tottenham Hotspur connections to appoint a new goalkeeping coach at Aston Villa.

Sherwood recently succeeded Paul Lambert as Aston Villa boss, though lost his first game in charge this weekend against Stoke City at Villa Park.




The former Tottenham Hotspur boss has been building his backroom team at Villa Park and has now added Tony Parks to his group.

 


Parks worked for Spurs for six years until last summer, when Mauricio Pochettino assumed control at White Hart Lane.

He headed to take up a spot at Norwich CIty, but has now moved on from Carrow Road to link up with Sherwood at Villa.
