Search begins for Thorn's successor at Ricoh Arena
Sky Sports understands that Jim Magilton is in the running for the manager's job at Coventry City following the sacking of Andy Thorn.
Thorn's time at the helm of the Sky Blues came to an end over the weekend following a 2-2 draw with Bury in League One.
It was Coventry's third straight draw and the decision was taken to dismiss Thorn and place Richard Shaw and Lee Carsley in temporary charge.
Chief executive Tim Fisher explained that there were 'several factors' and highlighted off-field issues that had not been addressed since last season.
Club bosses are now searching for a permanent successor at the Ricoh Arena and Magilton is understood to be in their thoughts.
Magilton most recently worked in Australia as head coach of Melbourne Victory, having previously had stints with Ipswich Town and Queens Park Rangers.
