After you've removed the top grass, dig it over and remove as much root as you can, leave any remaining roots to re-grow while the weather is still mild then cover it over for winter to help kill them off. Next year you will still get grass re-growing plus seeds germinating but you can use weedkiller to remove them, hand-dig them or plant through weed-suppressant membrane.
I work very hard so don't expect me to think as well.
