Aston Villa boss Steven Gerrard's days in charge could be numbered.

The former Rangers boss and Liverpool legend is on extremely thin ice at the Villa Park club.

Gerrard has struggled since being in charge at Villa for close to a year, with the club still languishing near the drop zone of the Premier League.

Per The Telegraph, the Midlands club are already looking at alternatives, with Mauricio Pochettino a serious option.

The former Tottenham and PSG boss is high on their list, and if he accepts the club's offer, they will swiftly remove Gerrard.

Villa have precedence for such a move, sacking fan favorite Dean Smith around this time last year with the team in a similar league position.
