Candidates: Thomas Frank, Anthony Barry and Sean Dyche
Crystal Palace are set to sack manager Pierre Sage following Sunday's 3-1 Premier League defeat by Liverpool.
The Frenchman had come under increasing pressure after a poor run of results left Palace bottom of the table with seven points from 10 matches. Sunday's loss at Selhurst Park was their fourth consecutive defeat in the league.
Sage was appointed in June on a three-year contract after impressing with Lens, whom he guided to second place in Ligue 1 and the Coupe de France, but has struggled to get his ideas across this season.
Sean Dyche and Vitor Pereira have also been linked with the vacancy.
