Aston Villa now hosts Brentford at Villa Park on Sunday, October 23, and the club is already looking for a replacement. In this article, we’ll look at some of the potential candidates for the vacant seat at Villa Park.
Aston Villa are currently interested in hiring Ruben Amorim as their future manager
Pochettino was previously mentioned as the front-runner to succeed Gerrard, but efforts to do so appear sure to fail With their bold approach to Mauricio Pochettino seems less likely to work and Thomas Tuchel has already declared himself out of the running.
Aston Villa is looking to Sporting coach Ruben Amorim about replacing Steven Gerrard. In order to replace Gerrard, Villa reportedly extended a hefty offer to former Tottenham Hotspur manager Pochettino to join the Midlands club. Villa has turned to Amorim, who has performed well in Portugal because sources close to the Argentine believe he will wait for a better offer. Amorim’s Sporting contract contains a significant buy-out provision, but Villa, which is in desperate need of a new manager who will energise the fan base, is unlikely to be swayed by this.
Unai Emery, the former manager of Arsenal, is another name on Villa’s list. However, the Spaniard is content at Villarreal and has already rejected Newcastle United in the past.
