Aston Villa is said to be in talks with U.S. soccer coach Bob Bradley about becoming the club’s next boss. Martin O'Neill vacated the position earlier this month.
Bradley, whose contract with the U.S. team is set to expire later in the year, expressed interest in the job.
"I think Aston Villa is a massive club with great history and a great following and those type of opportunities would of course be of interest," Bradley told BBC Radio Five Live. "I would certainly be honoured to have that conversation but I'm impressed with the way things have been handled so far and we'll see what the future holds."
He added: "I've always been excited about being a manager in Europe but at the same time I'm proud of the work we've done with the US team over the last four years. It is important to consider that as a challenge as well. So we'll see what happens.
"There have been discussions with some of my representatives to at least find out the situation but Aston Villa seem to have taken a good stance where they have been patient.
"They have a very good man in Kevin MacDonald who is highly respected in the club so I think on the one hand they are probably putting a list together and on the other making sure Kevin has the time to consider his future as well. It has been handled very well.
"I had some people do some checking just to find out where things stood."
Aston Villa is currently a 150/1 longshot to win the Premiership this season.
