Figures familiar with fans of Doncaster Rovers, Leeds United and Hull City are among the favourites to become Rotherham United’s head coach.
The Millers were relegated from League One last season and Lee Clark, who ended the campaign at the helm, has since moved on to the Hartlepool United gig.
Steve McClaren is in post as Rotherham’s head of football, but a head coach has not yet followed him through the door. There were initially talks with former Leeds academy coach Ian Burchnall, only for those discussions to grind to a halt.
Former Walsall boss Mat Sadler was then targeted, but recent reports have indicated he will not be moving to the New York Stadium.
After being unveiled as Rotherham’s head of football, McClaren said: “I know a lot of people. I've worked with a lot of people. I have pretty much an idea of [it]. The key thing for me is that most sporting directors and heads of football, whatever you like, come in and there's a manager and a culture 'set'.
“This one, I've come in and I need to align, not just with Tony [Stewart], but with the new head coach coming in. So for us to have that relationship; I've seen sport directors come in and managers and that relationship has not been right. That's the first thing. If that's not right, it won't succeed. And recruitment is very important.”
Here are the new MyBettingSites favourites to become Rotherham’s next boss.
