Kevin MacDonald has been taking care of the Villa side after Martin O’Neill’s shock resignation but a heavy defeat by Newcastle and elimination from the Europa League means that the Scot is unlikely to be offered the job on a permanent basis.
He told the Daily Express: “In Holland we have always viewed Villa as an important club with a tradition of being powerful in Europe when I was younger, so I would be very interested in managing them if the job was offered to me.
“Even though the last two results have been painful blows, I also saw them take West Ham apart 3-0 and I enjoyed the playing style.
“One of the things I’d bring to Villa if I was in charge is the idea that winning is important in football, but winning while playing offensive football is the best of all.
“I love English football because of its brilliant atmosphere, intensity of the competition and the culture of respect that fans and players have for the game.
“I have been holding off and turning down offers simply because I want to coach in England and where better than Villa Park?”
