Crystal Palace have allegedly spoken to Adi Hutter about the manager's job next season.
The Eagles sacked Patrick Vieira on Monday less than two years in the role. In his place saw former Palace boss Roy Hodgson come out of retirement to fill the vacant role.
Currently lying 12th in the Premier League, Palace are only three points off the bottom three and face the prospect of relegation to the Championship.

Despite the uncertainty of the club's top-flight status, Austrian media outlet Krone claims that former Borussia Mönchengladbach head coach is on the shortlist to takeover at Selhurst Park.
And the report adds that talks 'have already taken place' with the 53-year-old 'probably' flying to London to discuss the role further.
Hutter is currently out of work having left the German club last summer but is allegedly 'hungry' to return to management at the conclusion of 2022/23 campaign.
Hodgson is unlikely to remain at Selhurst Park beyond the season, regardless of how the club does in their relegation battle.
