Plymouth Argyle club captain Romain Larrieu has revealed he would be interested in taking over from Peter Reid on an interim basis.
Larrieu, who has been at Home Park for 11 years, celebrated his testimonial season during the close season and is prepared to take charge of the side until a permanent replacement for Reid is found.
"I would [want it] because that is part of the game that I'm interested in," said Larrieu.
"You always feel sad for the manager because part of me wishes he could have been in the club in a better position because he could have done justice to himself," Larrieu said.
"There was a feeling of inevitability because whatever we tried we kept on losing."
He also believes that the squad are strong enough to get out of their current on-field crisis.
"There is a lot of young players and I feel that it is unfair because they were asked to do men's jobs and they've been thrown in at the deep end.
"But I can see enough quality in them to turn it around, so we shall see," he added.
