Olympique Lyon coach Claude Puel is on Sevilla's shortlist.
Sevilla are preparing to replace Gregorio Manzano in the summer and Puel is under consideration by president Jose Maria del Nido.
Puel is expected to leave Lyon at the end of this season and has an ambition to work in Spain.
Former Argentina and Chile coach Marcelo Bielsa has also held talks with Del Nido about a move to the La Liga.
