Rotherham United has faced another setback in their quest for a new manager, with Nathan Jones withdrawing from consideration for the vacant position, according to reports from Football Insider. The club’s search for a new boss has extended into December, with Wayne Carlisle currently serving as caretaker manager following the departure of Matt Taylor after a significant loss to Watford in November.
Numerous names have been linked to the managerial role at Rotherham United, but as of now, the position remains unfilled. Nathan Jones, the former manager of Stoke City, Southampton, and Luton Town, was one of the candidates, having been interviewed last week. His presence at Rotherham United’s recent draw with Birmingham City fueled speculation about his potential appointment. However, the latest report indicates that Jones has opted out of consideration for reasons undisclosed in the report.
Rotherham United is eager to secure a new manager sooner rather than later, but Jones’s decision not to take the helm in South Yorkshire is seen as another setback in their prolonged search for Taylor’s successor. Despite facing challenges in his previous roles, Jones is regarded as a reputable manager at the Championship level, having played a crucial role in Luton Town’s ascent to the Premier League.
The Welshman’s recent struggles at Southampton contrast with his achievements at Luton Town, and although he had a challenging period at Stoke City, he remains well-regarded in the Championship. The club now faces the task of regaining momentum in their pursuit of a new manager after the hopeful updates on Jones last week did not materialize into an appointment. The coming days will reveal who ultimately takes the reins at Rotherham United.
