Yorkshire Post has reported that Stendel is one of several individuals spoken to during the search for a new head coach.

However, it appears Cheltenham Town boss Michael Duff is the Yorkshire club’s leading target.

The report claims he’s met with club officials twice, most recently on Monday, but is also on Blackpool’s radar as they search for a new manager.

Stendel is currently out of a job after leaving Ligue 2 side AS Nancy in September, just 10 games into his tenure, while his time at SPFL outfit Hearts, the club he joined after leaving Oakwell, lasted just 17 matches.
