Welcome to the Foxpunter Manager Profiling podcast, hosted by sports writer and broadcaster Jack Critchley and Foxpunter's Mike Holden.

Every week we'll focus on a selection of football managers, their leadership styles, how they celebrate, commiserate and how they deal with difficult situations.

This week it's the turn of new Aston Villa boss Steven Gerrard. We look at how the former Liverpool midfielder will bring his meticulous and hard-working style to the Midlands club and how he will aim to build on Dean Smith's legacy. 

We also reflect on the recent Times interview with Darrell Clarke and look at how his ability to stay in the moment could help Port Vale achieve promotion this season.
