Stuart Maynard is a leading contender for the vacant manager's job at Scunthorpe United and has also been linked with Bromley. The former York City boss was controversially dismissed in the summer just three months after guiding the club to the National League title with a record 108 points.
Maynard remains without a club following his departure from York, where he was replaced by Scott Lindsey. York currently sit fifth in League Two with 20 points from 13 games, a position built on a recent run of one win, three draws and one defeat. Their next test is a trip to face Grimsby Town on Saturday.
Scunthorpe United managerial search
Scunthorpe United are looking for a new manager after parting ways with Andy Butler following a 4-1 defeat to Tamworth, their fourth consecutive loss. The club sits 22nd in the National League with just 10 points from 14 matches, a sharp decline from last season's play-off finish. Maynard is now considered a frontrunner for the role at Glanford Park.
Other names in the frame for the Scunthorpe position include Luke Williams, Darren Ferguson, Andy Woodman and Kevin Maher. Forest Green Rovers, another National League side with a vacancy, have also been linked with Maynard. Their chairman Dale Vince said the Gloucestershire side would "see how it goes" without a manager after Robbie Savage's move to Peterborough United.
Bromley managerial vacancy
Maynard's name has also been connected to the vacancy at League One side Bromley, who controversially parted ways with Andy Woodman last week. The club have reportedly held talks with former England defender Ashley Cole about the position.
Maynard's stock remains high following his historic achievement with York. He was involved in 102 of the club's 108-point haul last season. His potential appointment at either Scunthorpe or Bromley would mark a swift return to management. For York, the focus remains on the pitch under Lindsey, with the full fixtures list showing a busy schedule ahead. The immediate task is to improve on a 3-1 defeat to Barnet last time out when they travel to face Grimsby this weekend.
