Bolton needs a new manager after releasing Ian Evatt in a poor form in League One. Trotters occupy the ninth place in the third level, which took third place and lost in the Playoff final from Oxford last season.
Evatt has been responsible since 2020, leading the club to promotion from the second league, but he did not take them back to the championship, at the level at which they had not played since the decline in 2019.
The ultimate goal may be to return to Premier Leaguewhere Bolton spent 11 seasons in a row in the years 2001–2012. And they can turn to a familiar face to lead them back in the right direction.
Allardyce himself said he was open to Bolton Job
According to SunThe “Dreams of an Emothatal Return” allardy itself at the HardSheet stadium, where he spent eight successful years as a manager before leaving in 2007.
It was the longest term of the managerial career of Allardyka, covering 371 games, much more than in any other club. And the 70-year-old would supposedly be open to the next period in Greater Manchester.
ALLLARARDYKA has no work in management since Leeds after a decline from the Premier League in 2023 after only four matches. Previously he had spells from West Brom, Everton AND Crystal Palace After his shameful and premature exit as a manager of England in 2016.
A romantic return to Bolton may like it, but it is expected that the club will be looking elsewhere, with the former boss of Plymouth and Stoke Steven Schumacher, who is the favorite. He is 30 years younger than Allardyce and proved at level one, directing Plymouth to the title with 101 points in 2022/23.
Sun They claim that Bolton can also pay compensation if they decide to take a manager from another club, and Steve Evans from Rotherham and potential candidates from ST Mirren.
They did it to reward Evatt from Barrow in 2020, but at the end of his term of office, things committed between the manager and fans.
“I think that the club is still well prepared to achieve its goals this season and I want to give the board and players the best chance for it,” Evatt said after leaving the club.
“I am very grateful for the support of everyone and being a manager of this wonderful football club was the greatest honor of my career. Thank you to our fans for the support you showed me and my staff. Together we created unique memories and I will always be a fan of this amazing football club. “
