JAKARTA - Mauricio Pochettino is a favorite candidate to fill Aston Villa's coaching chair after Steven Gerrard's dismissal. He is considered worthy of dealing with Villa.

Gerrard was broken down after the 0-3 defeat to Fulham in the 13th week of the Premier League, Friday, October 21 in the morning WIB. The result put Villa only one level above the relegation zone.

So far they have only won two wins in their 11 Premier League games. Quoted from the Daily Mail, this situation is the main basis for Gerrard's dismissal.

After Gerrard was sacked, the names of former Tottenham Hotspur and Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) coach Mauricio Pochettino appeared who became strong candidates for his successor.

In addition, the source also said that the second favorite candidate was former assistant to Gerrard, Michael Beale. This name had helped Gerrard work at Rangers and Aston Villa before deciding to leave for Championship club Queens Park Rangers (QPR) in June.

42-year-old Beule has led QPR to the top of the table. Previously, Beale was eyed by Aston Villa rival Wolves in his approach but did not respond.

In addition to the two names above, there are also other names that are on the radar of prospective replacement Gerrard in Aston. They are Thomas Frank, Sean Dyche, and Unai Emery.
