Former Blackburn captain, Tim Sherwood, could make an emotional return to Ewood Park as he is under consideration to take charge of the vacant managerial role.
Blackburn are looking to appoint their eighth manager in less than seven years, after Own Coyle was relieved from his job yesterday.
The club owners took the decision following Blackburn’s 2-1 defeat to Manchester United in the FA Cup last week, but made the official announcement on Tuesday.
The club owners, Venky’s, are keen to make a quick appointment, and Sherwood could be set for an emotional return.
