Former Ajax coach keen on Aston Villa job

Koeman claims Villa contacted his agent last week regarding a move to Villa Park.

“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.”

The Dutchman told Five Live Sport, when asked of his lack of experience in England: “If they think they are looking for a manager with Premier League experience then of course I cannot come, because I have not worked in England before.

“I have enough experience but not in English football.

“I think I would do a good job, I think I have enough experience in the last 10 years after working in Holland, where I was league champion, and working in Portugal, Spain…in that case my experience is enough.”
