Opinion: Bradford City Job Could Be This New Candidate’s Make-Or-Break in the EFL
Dean Holden, a former manager of Charlton Athletic, is apparently vying for the Bradford City position.
After losing to Tranmere Rovers, Bradford City’s manager Mark Hughes resigned, and the team is now looking for a new boss.
Kevin McDonald, the interim manager, won three of the four games but lost badly against MK Dons.
Although his managerial record has been patchy thus far, Dean Holden, the former manager of Charlton, is being considered for the role.
Bradford City are on the hunt for a new manager after the departure of Mark Hughes
Hughes led the Bantams to the League Two play-offs last season, losing to Carlisle United in the semi-finals, but he was sacked following the 2-1 defeat at Tranmere Rovers earlier this month which left the club sitting 18th in the table.
What is the latest on Bradford City’s managerial search?
Midfielder Kevin McDonald was appointed interim manager Hughes’ exit, and while the 34-year-old won three and drew one of his first four games in charge, his side were beaten 4-1 at MK Dons on Tuesday night.
The Scotsman said that he would like to go into management eventually, but he has been vague about whether he is eager to get the permanent position.
While Karl Robinson, the assistant at Leeds United and former boss of Oxford United, has reportedly turned down the opportunity to talk with the Bantams, Bradford is rumored to be interested in Crewe Alexandra manager Lee Bell.
Former Portsmouth manager Danny Cowley has shown interest in the role, and according to iNews on Wednesday, Dean Holden, who has been unemployed since Charlton Athletic fired him in August, is one candidate being considered.
