After successful spells at Cheltenham and Barnsley, Michael Duff was appointed to his highest-profile role at Swansea City. He was following some big names in South Wales, including Steve Cooper and Graham Potter, with the Swans expecting him to continue with their style of play. However, it soon became clear that the owners and the manager had different tactical ideas, and he was sacked after just six months. His record of W6 D6 L9 was his worst return in his three appointments. He featured at odds of 5/1 in the Port Vale betting market in early 2024.
David Dunn
Dunn who has managed Oldham and Barrow has been working as a coach with Port Vale since 2022.
Paul Heckingbottom

Nigel Adkins

Adkins has been around the block, managing seven clubs, including Scunthorpe, Hull City and Sheffield United. He was appointed technical director at Tranmere Rovers in May 2023 before stepping up to manage the team.
