Former Birmingham City manager Steve Bruce is the "right man" to become the next Aston Villa boss, according to former Blues midfielder Robbie Savage.

Bruce, who managed Birmingham between 2001 and 2007, is favourite to replace Roberto di Matteo at Villa Park after the Italian was sacked on Monday.

Former Manchester United defender Bruce, 55, has been without a club since leaving Hull City in July.

"It suits Bruce at this time in his career," Savage told Mark Chapman on 5 live Sport.

"He lives in the area, he's got experience in the division. He took Birmingham up, he took Hull up.

"He won't have to travel, he won't have to uproot, it's a massive pull living in the area."
