Mellberg keen on Sven arrival
|
Aston Villa skipper Olof Mellberg has welcomed Sven Goran Eriksson's possible arrival at the club.
Eriksson has been linked with the vacant manager's position at Villa Park following David O'Leary's exit earlier this month.
Speculation has intensified that Eriksson could take charge at Villa with the Swede's agent, Athole Still, heading up a consortium trying to buy the club.
If Still was successful in his bid to gain control Villa, it is widely expected that he will turn to Eriksson to take control of team affairs at Villa Park.
Mellberg has admitted he would be happy to see his fellow Swede, Eriksson, take over from O'Leary.
"I have heard about it, it would of course be fun to get Svennis to the club," Mellberg told Expressen.
"We want to take a step forward now and establish ourselves among the top clubs in the Premier League.
"Then, we need a good coach and I am convinced that Svennis is a good one.
"What concerns Aston Villa affects me, but as players we are trying to stay outside of things right now."
