According to Daily Mail, the Frenchman will be Steve Bruce’s replacement and John Terry will join him as the number two.
Steve Bruce was sacked last week after a poor start to the season and it will be interesting to see if Henry can help the Championship side rediscover their form.
Villa were expected to fight for promotion this season and Henry will be under pressure to deliver.
The Championship outfit have already dropped a lot of points and they will need to bounce back immediately.
Despite the lack of experience, Henry should prove to be an interesting appointment.
