Speculation has arisen linking Notts County manager Mark Cooper with the job at Forest Green Rovers after the Magpies finish their season this weekend against Carlisle United.
The Gloucester Citizen has published an article saying Cooper is set to be named as the new boss of the National League side, who are in the playoffs to be promoted to the Football League.
Journalist Jon Palmer also posted a tweet appearing confident that the move will take place after the Football League regular season finishes.

This week, Cooper talked about how his target-based deal at Notts County is not automatic, and also said "unsettling" deals are part and parcel of the game.
He said: "Obviously there has been talk about the (Carlisle) result I need to earn a contract offer, but I just hope we put in a good performance.
"It's not an automatic deal that kicks in, the package would need to be agreed.
"No discussions have taken place on that side of things because obviously I have not met the target yet.
"Is it unsettling? That's football. That's the way the game is. You have to work day to day.
"In an ideal world I want to be here, but I have to get a result and see what happens.
"If I don't, then I am not too sure what happens there either. All the chairman said was we need to get these points and then we will talk about a deal."
