Roberto Martinez might be an outside bet.

I would hope we get the manager in ASAP. And it would make sense from a timing standpoint. Gets to look at what we have before the WC. Goes to the WC and looks at some players. Comes back and spends some money.
We could do a lot worse than Steffen Baumgart. As a FC Koln fan I'd hate to see him leave them, but if he could do for us what he's done for them then that'll do nicely. He took them from having only avoided relegation in 20/21 by the play off, to 7th and a Europa Conference place in 21/22, in his first season there. Koln's a similar size club to Villa and have also punched below their weight for far too long. And I'm sure the fans would love him - he's a real character.https://www.bundesliga.com/en/bundesliga/news/steffen-baumgart-who-is-cologne-s-passionate-flat-cap-wearing-coach-18823

The Athletic have named Thomas Frank as under consideration. May I be the first to say screw that noise.
