Former Newcastle United boss Alan Pardew named the favourite for League One job

Former Newcastle United manager Alan Pardew has been named the bookmaker's favourite to seal a return to English football with AFC Wimbledon. The League One outfit parted company with Mark Robinson by mutual consent on Monday following a fifth consecutive defeat.

Pardew is currently operating as technical director with Bulgarian side CSKA Sofia following his appointment in November 2020. However, the 60-year-old has been backed to make a managerial comeback in his native London at Plough Lane.

Following Robinson's departure, an AFC Wimbledon club statement read: “The club would like to place on record its gratitude to Mark for all his hard work, loyalty and commitment whilst in this role. There will be no further statement for the time being.”
