Former Tottenham Hotspur boss Mauricio Pochettino is favourite to replace Steven Gerrard at Aston Villa. Gerrard was sacked by Villa on Thursday night following their heavy 3-0 defeat at Fulham, and the Argentine is being heavily-linked with the vacancy.
The potential arrival of Pochettino would represent a statement appointment from Villa, with the club currently 17th in the Premier League with two wins from 11 matches. He left Paris Saint-Germain in July after winning the Ligue 1 title, but he could only take the French giants to the round of 16 of the Champions League.
The 50-year-old enjoyed the best years of his managerial career during his five-year spell at Tottenham. He led Spurs to a Champions League final, four consecutive top four finishes and a Carabao Cup final.
