Reading FC manager Ruben Selles is one of several names who has been put forward for the vacant Stoke City.
The Championship club are looking for a new boss after Steven Schumacher was sacked just five games into the season.
The Potters have started their campaign with two wins and three defeats which puts them in 13th position.
Some bookmakers have priced Selles at 5/1 to be the new Stoke boss, while fellow League One boss Dave Challinor of Stockport County is the current favourite.
Tony Mowbray is also priced at 4/1 having not had a job since departing Birmingham City in May 2024 due to health reasons.
The Royals have had a mixed start to life in their second season in League One and have seven points from their opening five matches.
Following an impressive win over Charlton prior to the international break, the Royals were on the end of a disappointing 1-0 home loss to Leyton Orient on Saturday, who started the day at the bottom of the table.
Selles has won plenty of admirers during his time at Reading having helped the team to avoid relegation last season despite numerous off the field issues which are still ongoing.
The club has been in a long takeover saga as former Wycombe Wanderers chairman Rob Couhig looks to pursue a deal to buy the club from Dai Yongge.
Despite months of ongoing negotiations, the end is still not in sight with the fans, staff and players at Reading having to contend with off field distractions.
