Crystal Palace 'are considering a move for former Borussia Dortmund boss Lucien Favre' as they continue search for a new manager after ending talks with Nuno Espirito Santo

Crystal Palace are reportedly weighing up a move for Lucien Favre as their new manager after talks with former Wolves boss Nuno Espirito Santo broke down earlier this week.

Palace initially wanted to appoint a manager with Premier League experience but with the process dragging on and a number of players considering their futures, the club have decided to relax their requirements.

According to SkySports.com Favre, who was sacked by Borussia Dortmund last December is now under consideration for the position.

The 63-year-old is renowned for developing young players which is of great appeal to Palace; who insist their next manager utilises talent from their academy to supplement their first team squad.
