Kasper Hjulmand will not be the next Aston Villa manager after the Denmark boss ruled himself out of taking over at Villa Park.
The Villans are on the hunt for a new head coach after the club parted ways with boss Dean Smith over the weekend, with the ex-Brentford boss overseeing a run of five defeats on the trot.
Sportsmail understands that Steven Gerrard is the Villa hierarchy's top choice to take the job, and they have compiled a shortlist that includes Roberto Martinez, Thomas Frank and Hjulmand.
However, the Denmark boss has distanced himself from the vacancy after insisting that he is 'happy' with the national side.
