Blackpool manager Terry McPhillips is being considered by Scunthorpe United and Plymouth Argyle, reports HITC Sport.
Phillips, who is on a 12-month rolling contract at Bloomfield Road, has guided the club to 10th in the table despite several off-field matters.
According to the report, McPhillips has impressed his suitors with his ability to work on a small budget and help develop young players.
Both relegation-threatened Scunthorpe and Plymouth, who face-off in Saturday evening's crunch clash, have both sacked their respective managers in the last few weeks.
