Gerard Houllier has revealed he is unlikely to again manager at the top level following his most recent stint with Aston Villa.
The Frenchman was admitted to hospital in April after suffering chest pains which followed on from open heart surgery he had when he was at the helm of Liverpool in 2001.
Houllier today told talkSPORT that it was more likely than not that he will again take a head manager's role as his health is not up to scratch enough to be involved in such a demanding position.
"I've got to admit the fact that, probably, I won't go back into management," he said.
"I'm practically 85%.
"I'm still getting there. I need maybe a couple of months.
"It was the dissection of the descending aorta and it was probably not as urgent but it's a bad thing."
