He is believed to be waiting for another opportunity at Championship level.

Cowley started his managerial career with Concord Rangers and Braintree Town before getting the Lincoln City job in 2016.
He impressed in charge of the Imps and guided them from the National League to League One over the course of three years, making him one of the most sought after bosses in the Football League at the time.
The Londoner got his opportunity to manage in the Championship at Huddersfield last season and kept the Terriers up, which was what he was brought in to do, before strangely getting sacked in July.
