Clubs in Turkey, Belgium and the United States of America are said to be interested, with at least one team in the Turkey believed to have tabled an offer. Meanwhile, he’s turned down approaches from the Middle East as he eyes a return to European management.
With that in mind, it remains to be seen if Fink takes up another job before things progress any further with the Owls as the UEFA Champions League-winner seeks his return to management in the coming weeks.
Paul Cook remains the bookies’ favourite at this stage, with Chris Coleman and Roy Keane just behind him – current interim manager, Neil Thompson, is now up there as well.
