Villa stall manager search as they wait for Martinez and Liverpool

Aston Villa are waiting on Liverpool's decision over Wigan Athletic manager Roberto Martinez.

The Telegraph says Villa have paused in their hunt for a new manager as they would also like to speak to Martínez, even though he turned down the job last summer to stay at the DW Stadium.

Villa owner Randy Lerner’s admiration for Martínez has soared since their meeting almost 12 months ago after he guided Wigan to Premier League safety, despite Villa signing their best player, Charles N’Zogbia, for £12 million last summer.
