Former England, Arsenal and Tottenham defender Sol Campbell is the favourite to become the new manager of Sky Bet League Two strugglers Bradford City.
Campbell, 46, has been out of work since leaving Southend in June after a difficult spell at the beleaguered club.
His only previous managerial experience came at now defunct Macclesfield Town between 2018 and 2019.
He saved them from relegation to the National League after inheriting a team that was five points adrift at the bottom midway through the season.

Third time unlucky for McCall
Stuart McCall was sacked after Saturday’s 3-1 defeat at Oldham, a fifth successive defeat that left the club 22nd in the League Two table.
The former Scotland midfielder won just seven of 29 matches after succeeding Gary Bowyer in February.
It ended the 56-year-old's third separate spell in permanent charge at Valley Parade. He also had a brief stint as caretaker manager 20 years ago as well taking charge from 2007-10 and 2016-18.
A club legend, McCall had two spells at Bradford as a player, winning promotion to the Premier League during his second.
