Barnsley have parted company with Neill Collins following their poor run of form, as announced by their official club website.
As they go ready for their home game against Northampton Town on the last day of the season, Barnsley has appointed Martin Devaney as their temporary manager.
The Tykes are currently in fifth place in the League One standings, but if they lose this weekend and other teams win, they might fall out of the top six.
These are three managers they ought to consider.
Grant McCann
His Doncaster Rovers team has won nine straight games and is now leading League Two. After winning the championship with Hull City back in 2021, the former Peterborough United and coach is aware of what it takes to advance out of the third division.
Barnsley may want to take a chance on McCann, 44, as they attempt to reclaim the Championship. His son Bayley is a player for the Tykes Under-18 team, and he has experience doing this.
Michael Duff
The Yorkshire group now has the opportunity to attempt to bring Duff back. Before they lost to Sheffield on Wednesday at Wembley last season, he led them to the play-off final. He then quit when Swansea City approached him.
The former Cheltenham Town player’s stint in South Wales proved unsuccessful, and he was fired earlier in the campaign. He’s still accessible right now, and would he be lured back?
Gareth Ainsworth
Despite all odds, the 50-year-old led Wycombe Wanderers to the second division in 2020 during his 11 years as manager. After that, in 2023, he departed for QPR, however he was only with the Hoops for eight months.
Barnsley would want to take a look at Ainsworth since he might feel like he has something to prove in this game. He put in a lot of work in his days at Adams Park and is considering his alternatives.
