Former Kerry, Westmeath and Clare manager Páidí Ó'Sé indicated he would be interested in the vacant Dublin job after Paul Caffrey resigned following their comprehensive All-Ireland quarter-final defeat at the hands of Tyrone at the weekend.
Ó'Sé said the Dublin role is a "very attractive job" for any former player or manager who has already managed their native county.
Speaking on Newstalk 106 today, the Kerry legend said: "Any player who went back to management, or managed his county team, of course he would give the Dublin job very serious consideration - it's a very attractive job.
"Of course all managers would look at that (the Dublin job) and would take it into account. Of course they would. I wouldn't be on my own in saying that, there are plenty of other people who would as well."
That said the former All-Ireland winner believes the Dublin County Board are seeking someone within the county to replace Caffrey.
"I would say at this point in time that Dublin would find it very hard to be looking outside their own county.
"They're a very, very proud county," he added. "They have a lot of very good men available to them in their own county at the moment and I'd be very surprised if they did decide to go outside the county to be honest."
