“Excellent” manager favourite to replace Jon Dahl Tomasson at Blackburn
He’s been linked with a number of jobs
One manager has already emerged as the favourite to succeed Jon Dahl Tomasson at Blackburn Rovers, as per The Lancashire Telegraph.
Tomasson’s future at Blackburn
Tomasson’s tenure in charge at Ewood Park looks set to come to an end, with an announcement over his departure expected to come on Thursday once approved by the Venky’s in India.
The 47-year-old wasn’t allowed to speak to the press ahead of Rovers’ game against QPR last weekend following Deadline Day drama involving target Duncan McGuire. Rovers wanted to sign McGuire from Orlando City, however, a deal broke down due to an “administrative error” from the Lancashire side and a transfer was cancelled with McGuire mid-flight. In a statement, Blackburn said:
“Duncan McGuire’s proposed loan move to Blackburn Rovers from MLS side Orlando City has not been approved by the EFL to date due to the registration documents being submitted after the 11pm transfer deadline.
“All of the necessary signed paperwork had been completed prior to 10pm on Thursday February 1st, however due to an administrative error, the forms were not processed within the prescribed time. Detailed discussions with legal representatives and the relevant football authorities have taken place over the past few days to try to reach an urgent and positive resolution to the matter.”
As we know, Blackburn then fell to defeat on Saturday against QPR, and it looks as if that will be Tomasson’s last time in the Ewood Park dugout.
Therefore, Rovers appear to be on the search for the Danish manager’ successor, with the club seemingly wasting no time.
