Former Aston Villa striker Dion Dublin has backed Roberto Di Matteo to guide the club back into the Premier League.

Italian Di Matteo has been appointed as Villa's new boss on a two-year deal and returns to England almost four years after being sacked by Chelsea.

"Villa are such a big football club and well respected that the Championship is not so much of a drop down for him," said Dublin.

"It's a very hard league to get out of but it's a sign of Roberto saying 'okay, I'm happy to take on the challenge, I don't want everything put on a plate for me'.

"The team isn't good enough to be in the Premier League at the moment so it's down to Roberto to prove how good he is and how good his recruitment is to get them back into the Premier League. I'd back him all the way."

PEARSON FOCUSED ON DERBY

Nigel Pearson hopes to replicate the success he built with Leicester City at Derby County.

"The Leicester story is a very good one. I'm aware of my contribution and what I have done at Leicester," said Pearson.

"It's a fantastic story and I'm genuinely delighted for the players and my ex-colleagues and staff. It's unbelievable. It's right to recognise that. Claudio Ranieri managed with an awful lot of skill. They are my observations from afar.

"But that's the end of the story. I draw a line under that and move on. I had a lot of success at Leicester City. My achievements there speak for themselves.

"I had dozens and dozens of opportunities to talk about it, but that's not something I decided to pursue. It's not my scene."
