Aston Villa have highlighted Huddersfield Town manager David Wagner as a top target as they look to replace Roberto Di Matteo as boss at Villa Park according to a report.
The Guardian report how they will go for the Terriers boss before turning to the unemployed Steve Bruce if a move for Wagner fails.
Wagner’s stock has rose considerably this season with Huddersfield currently top of the Championship with 25 points after eleven games including a point against Aston Villa.
He moved to Huddersfield last season after spending time under Jurgen Klopp as a coach at Borussia Dortmund.
Roberto Di Matteo was sacked as Villa boss this morning after only one win their first eleven and only scoring ten despite a summer of large investment.
The Villans have got through seven managers since Martin O’Neill left in 2010 acrimoniously.
