10. He Won't Shy Away From The Cameras

Garde has been working as a TV pundit in France since leaving Lyon in 2014 and won the Coupe de France during his time in charge at the Stade Gerland. The 49-year-old clearly enjoys a bit of camera time as he started working as a TV sport pundit directly after he finished he playing career before taking a coaching role at Lyon in 2003. The good thing for Aston Villa fans is that his work with French TV channel 'Canal Plus' saw him act as a specialist on English football so his knowledge of the Premier League has clearly continued since his Arsenal departure.
