MK Dons boss Karl Robinson is a surprise contender for the West Ham United job.
The Mirror says he has already made a name for himself by steering his club into the play-offs after taking control at the start of the campaign.
At 30, the former Liverpool youth team coach is the youngest gaffer in professional football and was recently voted the best outside the Premier League.
He has been forced to cut the wage bill at Stadium:mk by more than £1million, but has still produced a team regarded as one of the most exciting in the lower divisions.
