Gerard Houllier is yet to give Aston Villa his answer.
He will decide today if he wants the job as Aston Villa boss.
Villa hope to name the former Liverpool chief as Martin O'Neill's successor but want caretaker boss Kevin MacDonald to stay involved in the first-team.
That could be the only sticking point for Houllier, 63, who is not keen on a director of football role.
A source close to the club told The Sun: "Mr Houllier is the first choice but there are still finer details to sort out on Monday."
