The Bantams recently opted to axe Mark Hughes, making a significant change following a sluggish start to the season.

Experienced midfielder Kevin McDonald has since taken the reins on an interim basis, although the search for a successor is underway.

As per the Telegraph & Argus, it is understood Holden is interested in the vacancy.

He has been out of work since August, when he was sacked as Charlton boss.

The 44-year-old has previously led Oldham Athletic and Bristol City, as well as Stoke City on a temporary basis.

Holden is reportedly keen to make a swift return to management.

Leam Richardson is currently the favourite to be appointed with BetVictor, sitting ahead of Danny Cowley and Karl Robinson.
