31 August 2010 20:00
Former Ajax boss Ronald Koeman is interested in taking over at Aston Villa after claiming the club contacted his agent last week. Villa are yet to name Martin O'Neill's successor with Kevin MacDonald currently occupying the role on a caretaker basis. Various names have been linked with the job and Koeman has thrown his hat into the ring. "Yes, of course I am interested to listen to everybody. The Premier League is a very strong competition and I'm interested in that, yes," he said. "There was a contact with my agent but nothing more than that, about one week ago or something. "Until now I didn't know anything about that. If they are interested they can call me."
