Redknapp says Lampard keen on Aston Villa job
Posted Wednesday, November 10, 2021 by Tribalfootball.com
Former Tottenham boss Harry Redknapp says Frank Lampard is keen on the Aston Villa job.
Villa are looking for a new head coach after sacking Dean Smith following five consecutive defeats, and the Midlands outfit are planning to approach Rangers boss Steven Gerrard this week.
A number of managers have been linked with the role - including free agent Lampard - and his uncle Redknapp believes the former Chelsea manager will be keeping his eye on developments at Villa Park should Gerrard stay at Ibrox.
Speaking to talkSport, the ex-Tottenham and QPR coach - who gave Lampard his debut as a player at West Ham - said: "The Aston Villa job, for sure, is one that would interest him."
Lampard has been out of a job since his sacking by Chelsea in January and has been patiently waiting for his next project. He took over the reins at his old club under a transfer embargo and led the team to fourth place in his first season.
