Shocking News:Aston Villa legend could be Unai Emery replacement after latest development…
Ty Bracey wouldn’t rule out Olof Mellberg becoming Aston Villa manager after joining MLS side St Louis City on Tuesday.
The former Sweden centre-back has taken his latest step in management after being unveiled as manager of the American outfit on 26 November.
The 47-year-old is undoubtedly a legend at Villa Park after becoming a fan favourite in his seven years in the West Midlands.
Villa podcaster Bracey, who features on the Villa Social, is pleased for Mellberg and believes he could become Villa manager one day despite having a way to go yet.
Speaking exclusively to Villa News, Bracey said: “Its going to be strange seeing a Villa legend going up against an old Villa manager in Dean Smith.
“I’m over the moon for him, the MLS isn’t a bad place for him and I think this is going to be his first big challenge.
“I wish him the best of luck, you never know what could happen with Villa. He’d have a long way to go, Unai Emery has set the bar for what fans want from the manager.
“He has a long way to go to become Villa manager one day but I wouldn’t rule it out.“

Aston Villa legend Olof Mellberg joins St Louis City SC
The defender was one of the best players in the squad as the Villans became a regular top-six side under Martin O’Neil.
The manager’s departure alongside the likes of Mellberg, Martin Laursen and Co. contributed to the eventual downfall of the club as their qualities were sorely missed.
Under Emery, the B6 club are back at that level but eventually, the Spaniard will need replacing which could hand the Swede an opportunity.
