Ex-Nottingham Forest boss Sabri Lamouchi and former West Brom and Barnsley manager Valerien Ismael are two names currently on the shortlist to take the job at Cardiff City.
Cardiff are looking for their third manager this season after the sackings of Steve Morison and, most recently, Mark Hudson.
The Bluebirds sit 21st in the Championship and the next manager will be tasked with getting them out of the relegation zone and stabilising the club.
