New Aston Villa manager Tim Sherwood laughs off gilet jokes

New Aston Villa manager Tim Sherwood has taken jokes about his dress sense lightly after he was asked about his gilet during a recent press conference.

The 46-year-old, who donned the clothing item regularly during a five-month stint as Tottenham Hotspur boss, was unveiled to the press for the first time since being appointed Villa manager last weekend.

Upon arriving at the news conference wearing a suit and v-neck jumper, a reporter asked him if he missed the gilet, to which he responded: "Fucking hell, I thought it would be two seconds before I heard a gilet joke. It was one!"

Sherwood was appointed by Villa following the sacking of Paul Lambert.
