Neville is set to leave his role as England Women boss in July after revealing he would not be renewing his contract in April. And according to Sky Sports News, he is on Sheffield Wednesday's shortlist as they search for a new manager.
The former Manchester United player is known to be keen on moving into club management after almost three years in international football.

Campbell is currently out of a post after leaving Southend in June. He took charge in October 2019 but could not save them from League One relegation when the season was ended prematurely by the coronavirus pandemic.
However, Cook is the early favourite having been out of work since leaving Wigan following their relegation from the Championship in July.
Pearson played for the Owls between 1987 and 1994 and has been out of management since he was harshly sacked by Watford.
Pulis left Middlesborough after the club failed to make the play-offs in the 2018-2019 season.
Neville led England to the semi-finals of the 2019 World Cup where they were beaten by the United States, the eventual winners.
The 43-year-old's contract with the FA included the 2020 Olympics as well as the 2021 Euros, due to be held in England, but both tournaments have been put back a year.
England announced Sarina Wiegman would be Neville's successor in August but she will not take charge until after managing Holland at Tokyo next year with Neville overseeing fixtures and training camps until July.
