Roma coach Fonseca discussed inside Crystal Palace boardroom

Roma coach Paulo Fonseca has emerged as a candidate for Roy Hodgson's job at Crystal Palace.

The Daily Mail says Fonseca has been added to Crystal Palace's shortlist should Hodgson depart at the end of the season.

Palace, who face Everton on Monday, are yet to sit down with 73-year-old Hodgson to discuss what happens after his current deal runs out in the summer and are assessing alternatives in case the former England manager doesn't continue.

Former Chelsea boss Frank Lampard, Swansea's Steve Cooper and Sean Dyche at Burnley are also contenders with 48-year-old Fonseca on the radar to offer a new perspective.

Though Palace's previous experience with an overseas manager Frank de Boer lasted only four matches, they haven't ruled out going abroad again for the right candidate, following the example at Leeds and Wolves who appointed Marcelo Bielsa and Nuno Espirito Santo.
