Roberto Mancini has reportedly expressed an interest in the Crystal Palace job.

With pressure building on Alan Pardew at Selhurst Park, Italian tactician Mancini is gunning for the managerial role at the South London club.

The former Manchester City boss is without a job after he was dismissed by Inter Milan in August and has now thrown his hat into the ring for the potential Palace vacancy, according to the Daily Mirror.

Sam Allardyce is also keen on the role while former Fenerbahce boss Vitor Pereira and Wales manager Chris Coleman are candidates for Palace if they opt to part ways with Pardew.
