The 2011–12 Aston Villa F.C. season will be Aston Villa's 137th professional season; their 101st season in the top-flight; and their 24th consecutive season in the top flight of English football, the Premier League. The club will be managed by former Birmingham boss Alex McLeish this season, following Gérard Houllier's departure on 1 June 2011 after less than a year in charge.

As Villa finished 9th in the previous season, this term will be the first since 2007–08 without the club participating in European competition. There will also be no Second City derby in the Premier League as local arch-rivals Birmingham City were relegated to the Football League Championship at the end of the 2010–11 season. Derbies with Villa's other West Midlands rivals West Bromwich Albion and Wolverhampton Wanderers will take place in the Premier League instead.

Players

Current squad

In the 2010–11 season the Premier League introduced new rules on squad lists. The rules included a cap on the number of players at 25; players under the age of 21 on 1 January of the year in which the season starts are exempt from the list of 25. A "home-grown rule" also requires clubs to name at least eight players in their squad of 25 players that have been registered domestically for a minimum of three seasons prior to their 21st birthday.

Players under 21 do not need to be named and can still be used.
Correct as at the end of the 2010-11 season. Squad list may change over the course of the Summer transfer window.
Note: Flags indicate national team as defined under FIFA eligibility rules; some limited exceptions apply. Players may hold more than one non-FIFA nationality.

Sponsorship

File:Genting Group logo.gif
Genting Group, Villa's sponsors for the next two seasons

Aston Villa will have a new club sponsor for this season, after the deal with previous partner FxPro was terminated in February 2011. On 22 June 2011, Aston Villa announced via their official website that the club's new sponsor until the end of the 2012–13 season would be Malaysian-based Genting Casinos.

Managerial changes

Gérard Houllier stepped down as Aston Villa manager after less than a year in the job due to health concerns.

Manager Gérard Houllier missed the final five games of Villa's 2010–11 campaign due to health issues. He had previously faced similar problems during his time at Liverpool. On 1 June 2011, the club confirmed that Houllier had parted ways with the club by mutual consent due to the Frenchman's ill health. He was replaced by Scottish former Birmingham manager Alex McLeish on 17th June 2011.
