Neil Warnock has hinted he would be interested in taking charge at Portsmouth on a short-term deal following the sacking of Danny Cowley.
The League One club relieved Cowley of his duties earlier this week after a run of one win in 14 games had seen them lose ground in the promotion race.
Cardiff City’s Warnock previous club were favourites to get Warnock back on board, but with the Cardiff board divided over his return, Warnock looks like turning his attention to the League One club.
A number of early contenders have emerged for the vacant job at Fratton Park but some supporters have been calling for Warnock, who holds the record for the most EFL promotions, to come out of retirement and take the reigns.
Neil Warnock:
Speaking to The News, the 74-year-old has hinted that under the right circumstances he would be open to replacing Cowley at Pompey but only on a short-term deal.
He said: “It’s a fabulous club. When I was a visiting manager, I used to get up and shout instructions and the fans behind drowned me out. I couldn’t shout a flipping thing!
“There are a couple of clubs I wish I had the chance to manage and that was one of them. I’ve always got on well with the fans there.
“I don’t know about the job there at the minute, you would have to see if they have already got things sorted out.
“Sometimes I think a short-term appointment at clubs enables them to just take their time and get the right man in place.
“That’s the only thing for me. I couldn’t do it for 2-3 years anyhow, but it depends if they are in a rush and they want to bring somebody in straight away.
“You never know, do you, but I’ve not had any contact with anybody.
