Former Everton full-back Leighton Baines remains the favourite to become the next manager of Plymouth Argyle.
The Sky Bet Championship club are on the lookout for a new boss after Steven Schumacher departed to take up the vacant position at division rivals Stoke.
Schumacher guided the club to the Sky Bet League One title last season, earning 101 points across the course of the campaign.
They also sit six points clear of the relegation zone - that thanks largely to their home form with 22 of their 26 gained coming in front of their own supporters.
Steven Schumacher has vowed that his Potters team will earn the right to get the bet365 Stadium rocking, as he takes over as Head Coach 📺
