SHEFFIELD UNITED are still searching for their next permanent managerial appointment.
And there are two clear betting favourites to spearhead the Blades' promotion campaign, according to Coral.
CORAL: BET £5 GET 20*
The bookmakers have installed Slavisa Jokanovic and Alexander Blessin as 2/1 joint-favourites for the role at Bramall Lane.
Jokanovic has a wealth of Championship experience having guided both Watford and Fulham to promotions during his tenure.
The 52-year-old is currently managing Qatari club Al-Gharafa but reports suggest United have already made contact with the Serbian and his representatives.
The Blades hierarchy want to set up a meeting with Jokanovic to discuss the managerial vacancy.
Blessin, 47, is another exciting option and has fast developed a reputation for his high-pressing philosophy.

The German took charge of Belgian outfit Oostende last summer and transformed them from relegation contenders to a fifth-placed finish in the Jupiler League.
Paul Heckingbottom is available next at 5/1.
Heckingbottom, 43, was appointed caretaker after the dismissal of Chris Wilder in March.
Things haven't gone to plan for the manager, who's presided over SEVEN defeats during his eight games in charge – scoring twice and conceding 19.
Club Brugge coach Philippe Clement is also priced at 5/1.
Formerly a player for Beerschot, a club part-owned by Blades owner Prince Abdullah, Clement has won the Jupiler Pro League twice in the last two seasons with Genk and Brugge.
Further back at double-figure prices are sacked Bournemouth boss Jason Tindall and a stunning return for Chris Wilder at 10/1.
Free agent Eddie Howe, Barnsley's Valerien Ismael and Montpellier chief Michel Der Zakarian are available at 16/1.
