The club was initially managed by Tim Sherwood, in what would have been his first full season as manager.[1] However, Sherwood was sacked on 25 October 2015.[2][3] A week later, Remi Garde agreed a three-and-a-half year deal to become manager of the bottom of table Premier League side.[4] Six days later, in Garde's first match in charge, his new team drew 0–0 with league leaders Manchester City.[5]

Garde put a strong emphasis on discipline at Villa. He dropped midfielder Jack Grealish from the first team after he went partying following a 4–0 loss at Everton.[6] On 29 March 2016, with Villa still bottom of the league, Garde left the club by mutual consent.[7] Ex-Coventry City manager Eric Black was put in temporary charge.[8] The club were relegated from the top flight of English football for the first time since the 1986–87 season following an away loss to Manchester United on 16 April 2016.[9]
