Aston Villa appoint three to their back-room staff
Boss Paul Lambert's Aston Villa rebrand continued today after a triple raid on former club Norwich.
Villa have appointed Scott Marshall as first-team coach and Michael Watts as strength and conditioning coach, with Chris Lorkin as Watts' assistant.
All three worked with Lambert at the Canaries. Lambert is revamping the club after his first year in charge and the new staff join ahead of the start of pre-season training on Monday.
Lambert said: "It takes time to build a team and you also need time to build the staff around you.
"Scott worked with me at Wycombe. He will enhance everything. Definitely he will be a big hand for myself, Ian Culverhouse and Gary Karsa.
"Michael I knew from previously working with him as well and he's another top guy at his job and Chris will assist him really well.
"We will all be striving for the same thing, which is to continue to build the club and make Aston Villa as good as it can possibly be."
Marshall spent 10 years at Arsenal and was part of the squad which won the Premier League in 1998 and the FA Cup and League Cup in 1993.
He also played for Southampton, Celtic and Sheffield United and met Lambert while working at Wycombe.
