St Etienne coach Christophe Galtier admits he's happy he rejected a Premier League offer 18 months ago.
As he prepares for their Europa League clash with Manchester United, Galtier recalled fielding a proposal from Aston Villa.
"I do not regret not going there. Not because Aston Villa was in trouble, but because this proposal came in the course of the season," he said.
"I did not want to leave during the season and leave ASSE in trouble. It was the best decision.
"Its impossible for me to leave!"
