Former Bayern Munich and Germany skipper Lothar Matthaus claims he has been offered the chance to take over as Aston Villa boss following the recent departure of John Gregory. The 40-year-old is currently coaching Austrian club Rapid Vienna, who are ninth in the max.bundesliga.
"Aston Villa have asked me to become their manager," Matthaus told the Sunday Express. "All I can say is I have a contract with my present club." However, he added: "I have always had a wish to manage a club in England."
