Former England and Chelsea midfielder Frank Lampard is on a list of candidates to succeed Mick McCarthy as Ipswich manager, Sky Sports News understands.
Ipswich have been without a manager since McCarthy abruptly quit his role last month four games ahead of schedule, following a win over Barnsley.
The Suffolk club have received over 100 applications for the vacant managerial role and hope to name McCarthy’s successor by the end of May at the earliest.
Lampard was linked with the managerial position at Oxford earlier this year and has been interviewed by Ipswich owner Marcus Evans.
Shrewsbury manager Paul Hurst is also on the shortlist of candidates but still has a League One play-off final against Rotherham to contest at Wembley.
St Mirren manager Jack Ross is also a contender for the role at Portman Road. The 41-year-old recently confirmed that talks had commenced between his current club and Ipswich regarding his future.
