The former Wolverhampton Wanderers and West Ham United bosses are among the favourites to succeed Mark Hughes at Stoke City.
Former Wolverhampton Wanderers manager Paul Lambert and ex-West Ham United boss Slaven Bilic are in the frame to succeed Mark Hughes at Stoke City with bookmakers, Sky Bet.
Stoke are reported to have been snubbed by both Quique Sanchez Flores and Martin O’Neill over the weekend, after another alleged target, Gary Rowett, signed a new contract at Derby County.
Lambert is now the heavy favourite to land the Bet365 Stadium post at 1/20, with Bilic behind him at 13/2.
Lambert, who managed Norwich City to two promotions, has been out of work since leaving Wolves at the end of last season and was recently odds-on to become Sheffield Wednesday’s next manager.
Bilic left West Ham at the start of November but according to reports last week the Croatian is ‘enjoying downtime’, which means Stoke may have to wait until the summer before they appoint him.
Stoke sit 18th in the Premier League table ahead of Monday’s trip to Manchester United.
