Bayern Munich great Lothar Matthaus says Aston Villa boss Unai Emery would be an ideal replacement for Thomas Tuchel.

Emery has just guided Villa to the Europa Conference League semifinals and have them placed in the Premier League's top four.

Matthäus told Sky Deutschland: "I would like Unai Emery from Aston Villa. He does a great job there. He has loads of experience and he has won titles with Sevilla.

"He speaks excellent English. He can then learn German, but all the players can speak English anyway - so I don't see a language barrier.

"Emery would be someone who comes in with new perspectives, he would be new to the Bundesliga and that would be a good fit at Bayern Munich."
