Ian Holloway has been made second favourite to replace Brendan Rodgers as manager of Swansea City.
Wigan Athletic assistant manager Graeme Jones remains the front-runner to fill the vacancy at the Liberty Stadium, although reports suggest that he is unsure of the step up in responsibility.
Michael Laudrup and Gus Poyet are also believed to be in the running to take over the Swans, who finished 11th in the Premier League last season.
Holloway's campaign with Blackpool ended in disappointment after they were beaten by West Ham United in the Championship playoff final.
The 49-year-old, who has been in charge at Bloomfield Road since 2009, guided the Tangerines to the Premier League via the same route in 2010.
