Bradford City next manager: Former Leeds United boss emerges as favourite ahead of ex-Sheffield United man

A new favourite to become Bradford City’s next manager has emerged.

Graham Alexander led the Bantams to promotion from League Two and then into the League One play-offs last term.

He has since overseen a strong start to the current campaign and the club currently sit top of the third tier, but the 54-year-old appears to be on his way out of West Yorkshire.

Championship outfit Preston North End, who Alexander made over 400 appearances for as a player, are seemingly on the verge of unveiling him as their new manager.

He looks set to replace former Bradford defender Paul Heckingbotton, who was relieved of his duties following a dismal run of form.

Here are the new BettingLounge favourites to succeed Alexander at Valley Parade if he does indeed seal an emotional return to Deepdale as expected.
