The USA native was sacked by Leeds over a year ago, with the Whites embroiled in a battle for Premier League survival. He has not yet sealed a return to management, although has been linked with a number of posts.
According to Sports Chosun in South Korea, as relayed by Mail Online, he is the top choice for the role having completed an interview in England. If he did land the job, he would be succeeding former Tottenham Hotspur star Jurgen Klinsmann.
He said: “I’ve been kind of hoping we can find some kind of connection back in the Premier League but if that doesn’t come I have to find what else is out there and what comes next for me.”
