Colchester United - beaten by Carlisle United on Saturday - are looking for their third bosdss of the season.
It comes after League One club Wycombe Wanderers moved for U's head coach Matt Bloomfield.
Wycombe are set to confirm Bloomfield as their new manager after Gareth Ainsworth's departure to take charge at Queens Park Rangers.
Bloomfield had only been in charge at Colchester for less than five months after replacing Wayne Brown at the helm.
Now the club who sit 19th in League Two are seeking a new head coach.
Bloomfield is a Wycombe legend after a long playing spell there, and his bright start to management with Colchester has caught the eye of the Buckinghamshire club, who are seventh in the third tier.

Colchester's 1-0 defeat at Brunton Park has proved Bloomfield's last at the helm. A statement from the Essex club said: "It has been agreed in principle that Matt Bloomfield will join Wycombe Wanderers as their new manager.
"The Chairboys have acted quickly following the departure of Gareth Ainsworth to QPR, taking their former player and coach back to Buckinghamshire.
"All the relevant paperwork is expected to be completed and signed imminently, but all aspects of the move have been agreed between the two clubs.
"Bloomfield returns to his former club less than five months after joining the U’s as Head Coach back in October 2022.
"The search for a new U's head coach will begin immediately, and any further news will be announced in due course."
Wycombe also confirmed Bloomfield's impending arrival after Ainsworth departed for Loftus Road after more than a decade at Adams Park.
