<text>  Paul Lambert has only good things to say about Aston Villa, the club he left last month after a disappointing run of games. The 45-year-old replaced Alex McLeish at the helm of the Premier League club in June 2012 but following a poor run of results, which left Villa in the bottom three, the club parted company with the Scot and later appointed Tim Sherwood as his successor.

I came in at really, probably a tough time and obviously when the financial reports came out, their losses are way down now so from that point of view the club is in probably a lot healthier position than when I went there. Its a great club with great people at it, and great people left behind. Theres things when you look back and think maybe I should have done that better or different but Ive got nothing but good things to say about the club. Since leaving Villa, Lambert has spent time in Germany with Bundesliga giants Bayern Munich and Borussia Dortmund working towards his UEFA Pro Licence. Lambert has spent time with Borussia Dortmund and Jurgen Klopp working towards his UEFA Pro Licence . Pep Guardiola is another manager in Germany that Lambert has been able to observe at close quarters of late . Although he enjoyed his time overseas and said his time spent there was a great experience, Lambert admitted he had no real plans to take up a managerial role abroad at this moment in time and follow the likes of former Everton and Manchester United boss David Moyes, who is head coach at Real Sociedad. When asked if he fancied managing overseas right now, the former Dortmund midfielder replied: Not really, I went over there - Ive been back in the country for over a week or so now. The two clubs Borussia Dortmund and Bayern Munich there I know very well. Germanys been a big part of my life there but spending that time at Dortmund was a great experience and you learn so much, even though youre only there for that week or so to watch them...it was a great, great experience. Lambert said he had no desire to follow Real Sociedad head coach David Moyes in managing abroad . Lambert praised the work of Klopp and said that working with his Borussia Dortmund side was eye-opening . Sitting and talking with Guardiola was said to be a great experience for the former Aston Villa manager .

He added: Guardiola and Jurgen Klopp are probably the best Ive seen working. Just the way they can get the best out of people. I think meeting with him Klopp and Pep Guardiola was a great experience, to sit with them and talk to them. Defeat by Hull saw Lamberts Villa move into the relegation zone and he was subsequently sacked . Villa have improved under new manager Tim Sherwood but are still not too far off the Premier League drop . With Jurgen, I knew Jurgen from the Pro Licence, but to spend nine days with him was excellent. What you see on TV is what hes like as a guy...eccentric probably. Hes a top, top guy and they way you see Borussia Dortmund now is probably due to him. Lambert, who made 44 appearances playing for Dormund from 1996-1997 and helped them win the Champions League, said: Even though Id played there - that was a massive football club - when I went back and watched them its exploded really, really quickly and Jurgen has been a catalyst of whats happened.
