Former Bristol City manager Dean Holden is under consideration for coaching jobs at Premier League Brentford and Championship rivals Sheffield United, according to reports.
The Daily Mail state that Holden has held talks with Brentford for the vacant assistant manager’s job under Thomas Fran, after Brian Riemer left to take over at Belgian side Anderlecht. But the 43-year-old is also in the frame to be named new defensive coach of Sheffield United with further conversations expected this week.
Holden left Stoke City in late August in the wake of Michael O’Neill’s dismissal and had been in contention for head coach jobs at Rotherham United and Exeter City, only to miss out on both posts.
