da lvbet: Ronald Koeman has confirmed his interest in the managerial vacancy at Aston Villa.
da betobet: The Dutch coach is interested in succeeding Martin O'Neill in the Villa Park hot-seat following the Northern Irishman's decision to step down on the eve of the new Premier League season.
Koeman has been out of work since being sacked by Dutch Eredivisie side AZ Alkmaar in December 2009.
The former Netherlands international has spent time in charge of Vitesse, Ajax, PSV, Benfica and Valencia since turning to coaching in 1999.
"I'm interested in the position of manager from Villa. I know that I'm on their list," he told Dutch media.
"I don't know how many more candidates are on that list. But I haven't had contact yet with Villa."
O'Neill walked away from Villa Park last week having seemingly become frustrated by a perceived lack of funds to try and strengthen his squad.
Former England manager Sven-Goran Eriksson, Ajax boss Martin Jol and United States coach Bob Bradley have all been linked with the job in recent days.Subscribe to Football FanCast News Headlines by Email
