Report: Tim Sherwood turns down Blackburn Rovers

By , Reporter
Tim Sherwood reportedly rejects the chance to replace Gary Bowyer to become the new manager of Blackburn Rovers.

Tim Sherwood has turned down the opportunity to become manager of Blackburn Rovers, according to a report.

Rovers sacked Gary Bowyer after their 1-1 draw against Brentford, despite the club being four points clear of the relegation zone in the Championship, ending the 44-year-old's two-year tenure at Ewood Park.

Sherwood was fired by Aston Villa at the end of October, with the Midlands club rock-bottom of the Premier League, after claiming just four points from their opening 10 matches.

Despite his failure at Villa, the 46-year-old was offered the chance to return to the team he captained to the Premier League title in the 1994-95 season, but he has rejected Rovers' approach, according to The Mirror.

Paul Lambert is now the favourite to replace Bowyer at Ewood Park.
