Aston Villa 'will look at' FA Cup winner if Steven Gerrard leaves Villa Park

Aston Villa will look at Leicester City manager Brendan Rodgers if they decide to sack Steven Gerrard, believes journalist Dean Jones.

The Midlands club have made a poor start to the season, cranking up the pressure on their current boss.

While Jones has told GIVEMESPORT that Villa have no plans to sack Gerrard at this moment in time, the 42-year-old could quickly find himself fighting for his job if results do not improve.

The Villans have lost three out of their four league games so far, including one against Bournemouth, who have just dismissed Scott Parker after their own struggles during this early part of the campaign.

They have at least been able to pick up some points after beating Everton 2-1 earlier this month, but Gerrard knows his men have to do better.

After they were booed off following their 1-0 defeat to West Ham last weekend, he said (via MailOnline): “I’ve been in the game long enough, if you lose three games out of four it’s not the start the supporters want, it’s not the start that I want. So yes, of course I understand the reaction.”

If Gerrard cannot turn things around at Villa Park and the club decide to make a change, Jones thinks they will consider Rodgers as a potential successor.

Speaking to GMS, the journalist said: “If they were to look elsewhere at a later date, then I think Brendan Rodgers particularly would be one that they would look at.”

Yes. The Northern Irishman has proven himself in English football and, while Leicester may have their own problems right now, he has done an excellent job at the King Power Stadium.

Rodgers has taken the Foxes close to the Champions League and led them to their first ever FA Cup trophy in the 2020/21 season. All in all, he could be a very smart
