Fulham boss Scott Parker is in the frame for the Bournemouth job.
The Sun says the Cherries plan to change manager after Jonathan Woodgate's failure to get through the Championship promotion play-offs when he took over.
And Fulham chief Parker is top of the wanted list because of his past record at this level and amid growing talk that he wants a new challenge.
Parker, 40, was wanted by Bournemouth when Eddie Howe left a year ago, but they could not seal a deal as the Cottagers were in the top flight.
Now there will be a second attempt to get him and Parker may decide to move on because Fulham have gone down.
He has already been linked with the Tottenham vacancy, leaving doubts about his future at Craven Cottage.
