Steve Cooper is at the top of Crystal Palace’s manager shortlist as the South London club contemplate sacking current boss Roy Hodgson.
The 76-year-old was rewarded with a one-year contract ahead of the season for steering the Eagles away from Premier League relegation during the previous campaign.
However, things have not gone to plan this season as Palace are flirting with relegation in 15th position.
One man the club wanted to bring to Selhurst Park during the summer was Steve Cooper but the Eagles failed to convince the then Nottingham Forest boss to make the move.
The Welshman was sacked by the Nottingham club this week and that has opened the door for Crystal Palace to make a move for the 44-year-old coach.
According to Football Insider, Cooper is set to be approached by Palace chairman Steve Parish once again as the Eagles look for ways to turn their current patch of form around.
