Tony Pulis is eager to jump back into work after leaving Crystal Palace on Friday.
Pulis has asked the LMA to help him tie up the legal niceties of his exit from Selhurst Park as quickly as possible to allow him to move on.
On Saturday night, a friend told the Mail on Sunday: "Tony is old school and loves football and wants to work again as soon as possible.
"After seven years at Stoke he was possibly ready for a break - this time he's hungry to remain in the game because he really enjoyed what he achieved at Palace and is disappointed he hasn't been able to kick on."
