After Matt Bloomfield has been announced as the new Luton manager, a Premier League manager has emerged as a potential successor.
Wycombe Wanderers are on the hunt for a new manager after Matt Bloomfield's departure to Luton Town.
Bloomfield, who guided Wycombe to second in League One and had them top at the turn of the year, leaves big shoes to fill at Adams Park.
With the Chairboys firmly in the promotion race, the next appointment will be crucial in maintaining their momentum and pushing for Championship football.
The search is already underway, with fans and bookmakers speculating on who will take the reins to continue Bloomfield’s impressive work with Russell Martin's name in the mix.

Who is the favourite to be the next Wycombe manager?
Claus Nørgaard, the 10/11 favourite with Bet Victor to become Wycombe Wanderers' next manager, brings a wealth of experience from the Danish football system and his current role as Thomas Frank’s assistant at Brentford.
While his last senior managerial stint at Sønderjyske in 2018 had mixed results, Nørgaard has since thrived within Brentford's innovative model—a structure Wycombe are eager to replicate
Des Buckingham, the 4/1 second favourite for the Wycombe Wanderers managerial job, boasts an impressive coaching pedigree.
After becoming the youngest head coach in A-League history with Wellington Phoenix during the 2016–17 season, Buckingham took on a coaching role at Stoke City before returning to New Zealand to manage the U20 and U23 national teams.
He later had stints at Melbourne City and Mumbai City, before returning to England to take up a role at Oxford United.
Buckingham guided Oxford to a League One Playoff Final victory over Bolton at Wembley in May last season.
He was sacked from his role there in mid December and remains available.
Former Premier League manager Russell Martin is an 8/1 contender for the Wycombe Wanderers job.
Martin led Southampton to Premier League promotion in May 2024, defeating Leeds United in a Championship play-off final at Wembley.
During that campaign, he masterminded a remarkable 25-game unbeaten run.
However, Southampton’s return to the top flight was challenging, and with just one win from 16 games Martin was sacked.
