Plymouth sacked Ian Foster on Easter Monday and a former Leeds United manager is in line to replace him.

Former Leeds United manager Paul Heckingbottom is among the favourites to take charge at Plymouth Argyle, following their decision to sack Ian Foster on Monday. Foster was relieved of his duties after losing 1-0 at home to Bristol City on Easter Monday, Plymouth’s fifth defeat in a six-game winless run. The Pilgrims have drifted towards the relegation zone and now sit just one point above Huddersfield Town in 22nd.

The 46-year-old has been priced at 9/1 via ReadWrite , with only Warnock, Alex Neil and Nigel Pearson tipped as more likely. Heckingbottom was only in charge for four months at Leeds, despite initially signing an 18-month contract with the Whites, having been sacked in June 2018 following a disappointing end to the season which ended in a 13th-place Championship finish.
