Zenit St Petersburg coach Dick Advocaat is in the frame for the Blackburn Rovers job.

The Dutchman is stalling on a contract offer from UEFA Cup champions Zenit St Petersburg and has told pals he would like a crack at the Premier League.

Advocaat lost out to Mark Hughes after he was interviewed by Rovers four years ago.

The 60-year-old joins Paul Ince and Alan Shearer on chairman John Williams' hitlist.

Williams said: "We want to get someone on board as quickly as possible."
