Wrexham are not expected to be short of options if they decide to replace Phil Parkinson as manager.

Five games into the 2025/26 Championship season, and there is already talk about a change of manager at Wrexham.

Ryan Reynolds and Rob Mac are keen for the Dragons to reach the Premier League within two years.

It means promotion is not expected this season, but even so, the start to the campaign has been slow.

Shaun Harvey has commented on Wrexham supporting Phil Parkinson this week, but there are still suggestions about his future at the club.

Managers contacting Wrexham for job

It’s only been five games, and a lot of Wrexham’s recent signings are yet to be fully embedded into the team.

Still, with rumours emerging about Parkinson’s future, managers are taking the chance to make their interest known.

Speaking on the Rob Ryan Red podcast, Nathan Salt has said that out-of-work managers have already contacted CEO Michael Williamson and others at the club about the manager role.

He said: “I know from messages I’ve had, calls I’ve had that there are out-of-work managers using their reps to make it known to Mike Williamson and others at the club that they are very much interested in the Wrexham job.”

Best out-of-work managers available to Wrexham

It is not revealed which out-of-work managers have been in contact, but there are plenty of notable names without a club right now.

Danny Rohl left Sheffield Wednesday during the summer and is yet to land a new job.

Former Wolverhampton Wanderers boss Gary O’Neil remains available.

There are also plenty of experienced Premier League and Championship managers, such as Sean Dyche and Sam Allardyce, who are out of work right now.

Neither would likely be a long-term solution at Wrexham, but if the club are firmly in a relegation battle later this season, they have plenty of history when it comes to helping teams avoid the drop.
