Roy Keane is fifth favourite to be named as Derby County's next permanent manager, according to the bookies.
The 47-year-old left his role as Nottingham Forest assistant manager on Sunday after five months with the club as he looks to reignite his career as a manager.
Lincoln City manager Danny Cowley is the early favourite (3/1) for the Derby job, should Frank Lampard leave for Chelsea.
The Rams have given the Stamford Bridge side permission to speak to Lampard in regard to their vacant managerial position.
Garry Monk, who most recently managed Birmingham City, is hot on his tail however at 4/1, while former West Brom manager Darren Moore (5/1) and ex-Brighton boss Chris Hughton (8/1) are also in the running.
Keane has not been in a role as a first team manager since 2011, when he was sacked by Ipswich Town.
Prior to that he led Sunderland to a triumphant return to the Premier League in his debut season.
The bookies have him at 12/1 to make his managerial return with Forest's bitter rivals.
Next permanent Derby County manager odds:
Danny Cowley – 3/1
Garry Monk – 4/1
Darren Moore – 5/1
Chris Hughton – 8/1
Roy Keane – 12/1
Steven Gerrard – 14/1
John Terry – 16/1
Lee Bowyer – 18/1
Gary Rowett – 25/1
