Henry remains the prime candidate to succeed Steve Bruce, with Villa’s new owners also keen to bring John Terry to the club as a member of the coaching staff.

SSN reported on Sunday that Villa were still working through interviewing their shortlist and may take most of the two-week international break to find their man.

The ex-Everton and Wigan boss Martinez, who took Belgium to the World Cup semi-finals, is understood to have admirers among Villa bosses, who also still retain an interest in Celtic manager Brendan Rodgers and Jose Mourinho’s former assistant Rui Faria.
