Although he was not considered the first candidate, Steven Gerrard will take over the Aston Villa bench. The journalist of "Birmingham Live", Ashley Price, claims that the famous player and coach will take over the "elves" within 48 hours.
According to his information, Rangers, which the 41-year-old coach led to the title of Scottish champion, will receive compensation between two and three million pounds.
Gerrard will be the highest-paid coach in Aston Villa's history, but no details of the contract have been disclosed.
