Ole Gunnar Solskjaer and Jesse Marsch are on the shortlist to lead Canada into the next World Cup after Jose Mourinho and Frank Lampard both turned down the role.

Canada are looking for a new manager to replace John Herdman, who resigned a the end of August to take over at Toronto FC in the MLS.

Herdman's former assistant Mauro Biello has served as interim manager for the past eight months, but the Canadian FA wants a permanent manager in place ahead of the 2026 World Cup - which the country is co-hosting.

And according to the Evening Standard, both Solskjaer and Marsch are among the candidates for the role, along with former Middlesbrough boss Aitor Karanka and former Chelsea coach Paul Clement.

Solskjaer has been out of work since he was sacked by Manchester United in November 2021, four months after signing a new three-year deal.
