Keane joins Aston Villa for preseason kickoff

Roy Keane attended the kickoff of Aston Villa's preseason yesterday.

The Daily Mail says the former Manchester United captain last featured in the top flight as manager for Sunderland before he left his position as Black Cats boss in 2008.

And already the Irish coach was keen to settle into his new role as he shared discussions with Paul Lambert at the club's Bodymoor Heath training ground.

Keane was expected to return to management with Celtic this summer but turned down the opportunity to instead take up a surprise role at the West Midlands club.
