Departing Fiorentina coach Paulo Sousa is being linked with a return to England.

The Portuguese has decided to leave Florence and is a candidate for the job at Crystal Palace.

Palace's board are casting a wide net to find a replacement for Sam Allardyce, who resigned last week.

Among the candidates is Sousa, though Palace will have to act quickly if they're serious about appointing him.

The former Leicester City manager is also wanted by Porto and Borussia Dortmund.
