Neil Warnock admits he's keen to return to the dugout in a bid to take his tally of league matches as a manager beyond the 1,500 landmark.
The Yorkshireman left Cardiff City in November after three years in South Wales.
In his first full campaign at the club, Warnock guided the Bluebirds into the promised land of the Premier League after finishing in second place during the 2017/18 Championship season.
But after a poor start to the current campaign, Warnock and Cardiff parted company, with Neil Harris now in the Cardiff City Stadium hotseat.
And Warnock has revealed he would be willing to manage a club lower down the league pyramid as he bids to return to life on the touchline.
"Ken Choo, when I left, he was ringing Blacky (Kevin Blackwell) and Ronnie (Jepson) saying 'are you going to Hearts with the manager?' and then it was the same with Middlesbrough," he told BBC Radio Wales.
"Apparently I've got 12 league games to go to get to 1,500.
"That's very tempting. I might have to go to League Two or something. It doesn't bother me what division I'm in.
"I just think that I'll probably go until the end of the season, only because we're doing quite a bit of renovation and it'll all be finished at the end of the season. I think Sharon will be glad to kick me out!"
The Bluebirds were in 23rd place in the second tier when Warnock first arrived at the club in October 2016.
The veteran manager guided the club to safety before defying the odds to secure a top-two finish in the next season.
However, he was unable to keep Cardiff in the Premier League, with Warnock leaving the club last year.
But the manager admits he always enjoyed a special bond with the club's supporters, adding that chairman Mehmet Dalman was a joy to work for.
"I always said that the time would come if I didn't have the full support of the supporters," he added.
"The fans have been the most important part. They've been amazing. The backing they gave us home and away, it's been quite phenomenal.
"Right from when I came in, the Bristol City game, it was special.
"We worked very hard and got a group of players the club are proud of.
"Mehmet Dalman was one of the best chairmen I'd ever worked with."
