Muscat played for Crystal Palace. Glasgow Rangers, Wolverhampton Wanderers, and Millwall, but has yet to manage a club in the UK. His managerial career has seen him take charge of teams in Belgium, Australia and Japan. He is currently in charge of the Japanese JI League side Yokohama F. Marinos. He was the favourite to be appointed at Glasgow Rangers in October 2023  prior to Philippe Clement getting the Ibrox vacancy.

A candidate for the Sunderland vacancy who is a regular in many next-manager markets. Jones has managed three clubs: Luton Town (twice), Southampton and Stoke City. His spells at Luton were successful, winning promotion for the Hatters from League Two in 2019. His time at the other clubs he managed could have been better, winning just 15% of games at Stoke and lasting only three months at the Saints.  He is another manager who in between Mowbray and Beale being sacked took up another managerial position.  

Frank Lampard

After retiring as a player, Lampard transitioned into management. He started his managerial career at Derby County in the English Championship before moving to Chelsea as their manager in 2019. Due to disappointing results, he was relieved of his duties at Stamford Bridge in January 2021. A year at Everton did not go well; he seemed always under the cosh at Goodison Park before returning to Stamford Bridge as caretaker manager after Graham Potter was dismissed. 

Neil Warnock

Old stager Warnock has been given the manager's position on eighteen occasions since his first appointment at Gainsborough Town in 1980. The seventy-five-year-old would be a strange choice, but he has shown during his extensive management career that he can get results from failing teams.
