Former Bristol City manager Dean Holden is in the running to take charge at Championship rivals Blackpool, according to reports.
Blackpool have been left without a manager after the surprise exit of Neil Critchley last week. He has joined Steven Gerrard's coaching staff at Aston Villa after his right-hand man Michael Beale left to take charge at Queens Park Rangers.
The Tangerines are hunting for a new boss as a result, with Bolton Wanderers boss Ian Evatt – a Bloomfield Road favourite in his playing days – the early bookmakers' favourite.
