However, Rosler could be handed the opportunity to succeed Per-Mathias Hogmo who resigned after a poor start to the Scandinavians World Cup qualifying campaign.

A possible return to work in Norway will have an emotional appeal for the 48-year-old German who finished his playing career in the country.

The former Manchester City striker was diagnosed with cancer and coached in Norway for six years after making a successful recovery from his illness.

Rosler's wife is Norwegian and his son Colin, also plays for Norway's Under 16s.
