Former Reading loanee, Graham Potter, is reportedly under consideration for the England job after Gareth Southgate quit.
Southgate, who was in the opposite dugout for the Royals' first-ever top-flight game as Middlesbrough boss in 2006, had been in charge of the Three Lions for eight years.
Having led the country to successive European Championship finals, Sunday's 2-1 defeat to Spain was his final match as he opts to depart.
The FA have drawn up a shortlist of potential candidates.
Back in 1999, Potter had a five-game loan spell in Berkshire from Southampton while his playing career took in spells with the likes of Birmingham City and York City.
As a boss, he shot to fame as manager of Swedish side Ostersund- beating Arsenal in the Europa League- before impressing with Brighton and Hove Albion.
The 49-year-old has been out of work since a seven-month spell with Chelsea ended in April.
Dorsett has named Newcastle United chief Eddie Howe, England Under-21 coach Lee Carsley and former Tottenham Hotspur favourite Mauricio Pochettino as other potential candidates.
