Aston Villa under-23s manager Kevin MacDonald has been "reassigned" from his role following allegations of bullying by a former player.
Villa confirmed MacDonald, 58, will not be in charge of the team pending an independent investigation.
Ex-midfielder Gareth Farrelly alleged MacDonald was "relentlessly negative" to him as a youth coach in the 1990s.
MacDonald was placed in caretaker charge of the first team earlier this season after Steve Bruce was sacked.
Former Aston Villa academy graduate and Republic of Ireland international Farrelly, now a qualified solicitor, claimed MacDonald was "incredibly aggressive, with constant verbal and physical bullying".
"It took me to a place at 20 that nobody should have to go to and I wouldn't wish it on anybody," Farrelly told The Guardian.
Villa have referred the allegations to the local and football authorities.
An internal investigation will commence immediately and MacDonald has been temporarily reassigned to non-player-facing duties.
He has also been instructed not to comment on the allegations of bullying, pending the outcome of the investigation.
MacDonald, a former double winner with Liverpool as a player in 1986, has twice been caretaker manager at Villa and was previously assistant to Tim Sherwood in 2015.
He also had a brief spell as manager at Swindon Town in 2013.

‘I honestly don’t know what I’ve done in my life to get the **** I get,’ says Carroll, shaking his head. ‘It’s unbelievable. I get some stick for everything I do. It’s annoying. It’s stupid things, like I went to Lapland UK. I’m standing there with the kids. Someone skates over, “Lovely to meet you... don’t be getting on the ice, I don’t want you falling over and getting injured”. Everywhere I go it’s the same bull****.
‘Some people will say ‘oh you’re on 90 grand a week, I’m sure you can take a bit of ribbing’, but people have to ask themselves, is 90 grand a week really worth all this piss taking? I don’t think so. You try it, see what it’s like. It’s painful. It’s hard. It’s hard graft. You’re going home angry, upset, having a go at the missus for nothing, having a go at everyone. You’re just upset. It’s hard to be by yourself.
'I was in the pub the other night and this fella said “hey Andy, don’t drop your pint on your foot, you might break it”, and I said “I won’t break my foot don’t worry”, and he said “No I meant you might break the pint glass”, and the whole pub fell about laughing. It’s upsetting. Another night in the pub last week these lads caught me puking up in the bogs and took the piss out of me for being a lightweight. It’s everywhere I go, ridicule. It’s not easy. I mean I’m not a lightweight, I’d had about 11 pints but they weren’t to know that, it’s just everyone’s first port of call to take the piss out of me. I’m working hard to get back fit, I’m a professional, but it’s hard.'Thanks very much for being ‘This Mornings’ Farmer’

Is 90 grand a week worth all the piss taking? I think most of us will happily give that experiment a try.Originally posted by Shaggy View Post
The only gracious way to accept an insult is to ignore it; if you can't ignore it, top it; if you can't top it, laugh at it; if you can't laugh at it, it's probably deserved.
