Well it appears being Latvia manager can produce rather random reputations.
I just find it annoying when my older players retire into better management jobs than I have. I think the reputation a manager has when they are achieving above expectations in their division would make it possible for a team from the lower half of the league above to be more inclined to offer you a job. I remember in previous editions it wasn't uncommon to be offered these jobs.

As Hogie says, most offers come from lower teams.
But this is reasonable, say Harrogate got promoted to league 2 but Sheffield Wednesday got relegated to the ECN which team would have the bigger and better reputation. Now if Wednesday were to offer the manager of Harrogate the manager's job at Hillsborough, it is likely that it would be accepted.
However had Wednesday remained in League 2 or gained promotion, the offer of a job to a Harrogate manager would be unlikely.
Which proves my previous post about reputation, he was one of the known managers in the Conference and League 2 because the team was being successful, but he's moved to a supposedly bigger club and a lot of people don't know about it - certainly outside of the West Country region.
In real life if a club does progress through leagues, quite often the manager of the club will get touted with clubs in leagues above. It is not unrealistic.
Going on your previous example I would have to say that if Wednesday had remained in the same division that, in real life, it would not seem unreasonable for the Harrogate manager to be offered the job.
"Get me a new manager, a high profile one, one that will get us back to the Premeiership where we belong"
Board Member:
"But we have tried all the high profile ones and that is why we are in the position we are in. Why not try this young lad who has brought Harrogate up to League 2"
Sheffield Wednesday Chairman:
"'arrogate, 'arrogate who the f*ck are they, we don't want a manager from some piddling Yorkshire league team. Get me Malcolm Allison or Brian Clough"
Board Member:
"They're both dead."
Sheffield Wednesday Chairman:
Well get me an ex player or summat, someone with a big reputation, that's what we need
"Get me a new manager, I have had enough of these high profile ones, they are the ones that got us stuck here. Get me an exciting young manager who has made a name for himself by proving his tactical nous and has won a couple of divisions"
Board Member:
"Why not try this young lad who has brought Harrogate up to League 2? He has been blazing a trail through the divisions and is now setting League Two alight"
Sheffield Wednesday Chairman:
"'arrogate, 'arrogate who the f*ck are they, he has done all that for some piddling Yorkshire league team. Get him an interview now!"
Board Member:
"Will do, if I can boss I hear some teams at the bottom of League One are already on his trail."
Sheffield Wednesday Chairman:
"Hurry, before he is snapped up or your fired lad!"
