Hamilton are on the hunt for a new boss after Martin Canning left the club.
Here, Press Association Sport looks at who may replace him.
Guillaume Beuzelin
The former Hibernian midfielder has been placed in temporary command of the first team alongside youth academy boss George Cairns but is highly-rated by the Accies hierarchy. The Lanarkshire outfit have appointed their last two managers from within and it would be no surprise to see them follow that same path by giving the job to the Frenchman.
Stuart Taylor
Paul Lambert's number two at Ipswich has close ties to Hamilton having been part of Billy Reid's backroom staff when the club won promotion back to the top flight in 2008. Has a previous spell as a boss under his belt following a season-long stint with League of Ireland outfit Limerick in 2013 while he has worked alongside Lambert at Wolves, Stoke and now Portman Road.
John Hughes
Has been out of work since his disastrous three-month reign at Raith Rovers ended in the club's relegation to Ladbrokes League One. But with a Scottish Cup win with Inverness on his CV, the 54-year-old – who has also managed Falkirk, Hibernian, Livingston and Hartlepool – will back himself to get the Accies support back on side with his brand of passing football.
Alan Archibald
Left Partick Thistle under a cloud earlier this season after four-and-a-half years in charge at Firhill. The former Jags skipper led the club to promotion six months after replacing Jackie McNamara in January 2013. After establishing Thistle as a Premiership outfit, he guided the club to their highest league finish in 40 years in 2017 but failed to back it up and were relegated the following season, before being axed eight games into this term.
Danny Lennon
St Mirren's League Cup winning boss still feels hard done by after being axed 18 months on from leading the Buddies to their Hampden triumph. While he failed in his mission to break the Paisley outfit into the top six, he did keep them in top division in his four years in charge. Since then has had brief stints in charge of Scotland Under-21s, Alloa and Airdrie with current club Clyde on course for the League Two play-offs.
