Former Peterborough United manager Grant McCann could soon be back in a managers hotseat after Chairman Darragh MacAnthony revealed he has a number of “potential” offers.
According to MacAthony, McCann has three potential jobs to decide over:
Great catching up with my old Gaffer last night @grantmccann11 and a man in demand with 3 potential jobs to decide over. His next club will be one who see’s best of him imo. Watch this space 🙂

One of those jobs could be the vacant Bradford City position. The Telegraph & Argus has revealed McCann is interested in taking over the reigns from Simon Grayson who had only been in the role since February after Stuart McCall had been sacked; ironically, that was also the month McCann left Posh!
Bantams Chairman Edin Rahić wants the club to bring through young players which is something McCann is used to and could give the 38-year-old the edge over his competitors. McAnthony believes McCann would be a fantastic appointment
Just tweeted about him funny enough. With a young manager, the 2nd job Imo is one he takes off in. Has had superb experience with Posh & ready to go again. Be a fantastic appointment for the Bantams imo. https://t.co/O3KKyxH6dm

Mark Warburton is the bookies’ favourite with former Hearts boss Ian Cathro and Gary Megson also being mentioned.
While MacAnthony thinks the Bantams job would be a good fit for McCann, we feel somewhere closer to Posh would be a better fit for him to get back into management. Managerless and in League Two, the MK Dons job could be a big draw for McCann. He wouldn’t have to relocate and still being a relatively inexperienced manager compared to some, it would give him the ideal opportunity to build his stature as a manager.
Other clubs that are also looking for new managers are League One sides Barnsley and Sunderland. Could he be going after either of these jobs as well?
