| Career Summary | After a glittering playing career that included winning the UEFA Champions League with German side Borussia Dortmund in 1997, Aston Villa boss Paul Lambert is now in his second managerial role in the Barclays Premier League. The former Scotland international gained his first taste of management with Scottish side Livingston before making the move to the English Football League with Wycombe Wanderers. A successful spell, including a memorable run to the League Cup semi-finals, earned him the job as Colchester United manager in League One. At the start of the 2009/10 campaign, Lambert’s Colchester side routed Norwich City 7-1 on the opening day of the season and that was enough to impress the board at Carrow Road, who promptly hired the Scotsman ahead of their next match in a bid to get promoted back to the Championship. Lambert remarkably guided the Canaries to back-to-back promotions and they returned to the Premier League for the first time since 2005 in the 2011/12 campaign. His newly-promoted side performed admirably in their first season back in the top flight, finishing 12th in the league. His success earned him a move to ever-present Premier League side Aston Villa ahead of the 2012/13 season and the purchase of powerful Belgian forward Christian Benteke was one of the highlights of his first season in the Midlands with his young squad. |
