The 3 most ideal candidates for the Blackburn Rovers manager’s job

It’s been more than a fortnight since Blackburn Rovers confirmed that Tony Mowbray would be leaving the club this summer but his replacement has yet to be appointed. 

While getting the right coach in place is important, continued delays only serve to damage Rovers’ preparations for the 2022/23 Championship season.

The North West club will likely look to make an appointment soon and with that in mind, we’ve highlighted the three most ideal candidates to take charge at Rovers…

Daniel Farke

Anyone that has watched Championship football in the past decade will have seen Daniel Farke’s Norwich City side dominate on the way to two promotions in a four-year spell.

At the start of the month, reports indicated he was open to replacing Mowbray.

The German coach’s pedigree in the second tier is undeniable and installing him at the helm would be a real statement of intent, which may, in turn, convince the likes of Darragh Lenihan and Joe Rothwell to stay.

Farke’s success at Carrow Road was also a product of the structure around him and that is not in place at Ewood Park at the moment.

He wouldn’t have the sort of buying power he was used to during his Norwich spell but that’s not to say he couldn’t thrive.

Last season proved that there is talent in the ranks at Rovers and Farke could be just the coach to help them take the next step while a big name like him may make it easier for Blackburn to bring players to the club.

Carlos Carvalhal 

Another with experience competing at the top end of the Championship, Carlos Carvalhal took Sheffield Wednesday to the play-offs twice during his time at Hillsborough but never secured promotion.

The 56-year-old is a free agent and is said to have held talks with the club over replacing Mowbray.
