Aston Villa's new manager Alex McLeish addresses the media during a press conference at their training ground in Birmingham, central England, on June 20 2011. Alex McLeish vowed to win over Aston Villa's supporters on Friday June 17, 2011 after being confirmed as the Premier League club's new manager following days of angry protests by fans. Villa confirmed in a statement they had appointed McLeish with immediate effect just five days after the 52-year-old Scot resigned from bitter local rivals Birmingham City, who were relegated last month.
