Bradford City next manager: Ex-Sheffield United, Everton & Doncaster Rovers men among early favourites

The favourites to become Bradford City’s next boss - including ex-Sheffield United and Doncaster Rovers men

Figures familiar with fans of Sheffield United and Middlesbrough are among the favourites to become Bradford City’s next boss.

Bradford sit top of the League One table but appear set to lose their highly-rated manager Graham Alexander. They have reluctantly given the 54-year-old permission to speak to Championship outfit Preston North End, who he represented on over 400 occasions as a player.

With reports indicating a move is very much on the cards, fans are starting to wonder who the Bantams could turn to. It will certainly be an attractive job for those seeking work, with the club on a stable footing and challenging for promotion from League One.

Here are the BettingLounge favourites to take charge of Bradford if Alexander is unveiled at Deepdale.
