Former Liverpool and Aston Villa manager Gerard Houllier has admitted that he is unlikely to return to management.

The 63-year-old boss, who underwent heart surgery in 2001 while in charge of Liverpool, had his tenure at Villa Park cut short earlier this year after suffering with chest pains.

"I've got to admit the fact that, probably, I won't go back into management," he told talkSPORT.

"The profession that I used to have was not the best to keep in good health because of what I have."

Houllier has also had spells in charge of Lyon and the French national team.
