Former Italy Boss Roberto Donadoni 'Very Interested' In Managing Aston Villa - Agent
Representative says Italian has 'always dreamed' of working in England...
By Adithya Ananth
The Italian had previously been linked with the then vacant position at Fulham, before Mark Hughes was appointed at Craven Cottage.
The 46-year-old has remained unattached to a club since parting ways with Napoli last year, while Villa, for their part, are interviewing for the job vacancy following the sudden exit of Martin O'Neill - just days prior to the start of the season.
"Roberto is a great student of the English game and he is very interested in the job at Aston Villa," Donadoni's UK representative, Charles Collymore, told Sky Sports.
"He knows Villa are a top club with an ambitious owner and he feels he could be a success there.
"Roberto has worked at the highest level and he has always dreamed of coaching in England.
"Roberto has the experience and talent to help develop the best young English talent and also the knowledge to help find the best foreign talent available."
Villa have previously declared they are looking for a manager with "experience managing in the Premier League" to replace the departed O'Neill, something Donadoni does not have.
