Blackpool chairman Karl Oyston plans to appoint a "domestic" manager following the dismissal of Jose Riga. Oyston sacked the Belgian on Monday after just 15 games in charge, with the Seasiders lying bottom of the Championship table on six points.
Former Birmingham City boss Lee Clark has been strongly linked with the position at Bloomfield Road.
"The next appointment will definitely be a domestic manager," Oyston told BBC Radio Lancashire.
"You should never say never [on appointing a foreign manager] but I'd be extremely cautious and make sure I do a lot more research."
