Villa have ambitious targets if they end up sacking Gerrard, but perhaps a more realistic option could join after the winter World Cup
, with Christian Purslow key to convincing the former Liverpool captain to leave his role at Rangers.
And were they to sack Gerrard, the links with Pochettino outline the club’s lofty ambitions despite it sitting 16It has been 12 years since Villa last finished in the top six, but the club have made their target of regular European football no secret, an area in which Pochettino is certainly far more qualified than Gerrard, having led Spurs to the Champions League final in 2019.
One glimmer of hope for Villa is that the Argentine was overlooked for the Manchester United role, placing the Midlands club among a group of English sides arguably most capable of convincing Pochettino to return to the Premier League, especially as joining another Big Six side seems a distant prospect right now.
As we all know, though, football is a fickle business, so the factors working against Villa also include Pochettino wanting to wait for a better role to arrive – be it in England or perhaps more likely on the continent.
