Wolverhampton Wanderers have reportedly identified Nottingham Forest boss Sabri Lamouchi as a potential replacement for Nuno Espirito Santo.
After Unai Emery was sacked as Arsenal manager on Friday, Nuno has been heavily linked with a switch to the Emirates Stadium.
Having transformed Wolves from a Championship outfit into a team competing in Europe, the Wolves board are desperate for the Portuguese to remain at Molineux.
The most recent report has claimed that the Gunners are reconsidering whether to make an approach for the former Porto and Valencia man.
However, according to The Sun, a backup plan is being put together by Wolves, with Lamouchi said to be high on their shortlist.
The 48-year-old has recorded 11 wins and five draws from his opening 21 matches in charge at the City Ground, which has led to Forest sitting in fourth position in the Championship standings.
