Noble, who was Veivers' boss during his time at Wigan from 2006-09, is looking to get back into coaching after being out of a job since leaving Crusaders in 2010.
Former Wigan centre Tony Iro, who is working for New Zealand in the build-up to the World Cup, will also be a contender, admitted Koukash, who has put head of youth Alan Hunte in temporary charge of the City Reds.
"It's a big decision appointing a new head coach," Koukash told the Manchester Evening News.
"I have to get it right and I will be going for someone who shares my vision for this club.
"We cannot afford to wait as a club to be successful - things have to happen now.
"We do not even have a shortlist as yet but Brian Noble will be considered for it along with Tony Iro.
"Alan Hunte will take charge of the team for the time being and I will be interested to see how things go for him. He, too, could become a strong contender."
