Chelsea Women manager Emma Hayes has been linked with the vacant position at AFC Wimbledon.
The Express reports that the 44-year-old is on the League One club's shortlist following the departure of Glyn Hodges at the weekend.
Should she be appointed, she would be the first woman to take a managerial role in senior English men's football.
However, plenty of other candidates have also been mentioned, including Ian Holloway, Sol Campbell, former Fleetwood boss Joey Barton, and National League Boreham Wood’s Luke Garrard, a former player.
Hayes has steered her Chelsea side to a 33-game unbeaten streak in the Barclays FA Women's Super League, and they are also still in the latter stages of this season's Women's Champions League.
She has spoken repeatedly about her desire to win the European competition with Chelsea, and has been given plenty of support within the club to achieve that ambition.
In the last 12 months Hayes has added the likes of Australia international Sam Kerr, Germany star Melanie Leupolz, and UEFA Women's Player of the Year Pernille Harder to her squad along with England Lionesses including Bethany England and Fran Kirby.
Her team are the defending WSL champions and also current FA Women's Continental Tyres League Cup holders, and her name was mentioned in the frame for the England women's head coach role after Phil Neville announced his intention to take over at Inter Miami.
But she has also been linked with a string of jobs in the men's game - including the Chelsea hot-seat in 2019 after the departure of Maurizio Sarri.
