Two former Leeds United managers are in the frame to become the next Crystal Palace manager. Patrick Vieira was sacked earlier today after a run of 11 Premier League games without a win.
Defeat to bitter rivals Brighton in midweek proved the final straw for Vieira, who leaves Selhurst Park after 20 months in charge. As expected, the rumour mill is already churning about who will take charge.
Just weeks after his Elland Road dismissal, Jesse Marsch is among the favourites to replace Vieira. The American was reportedly close to joining Southampton last month but talks broke down.

BetVictor price the ex-Whites boss at 8/1, making him the joint-third favourite for the job. Ahead of him in the running are Roy Hodgson (2/1) and Lucien Favre (5/1), while Ralph Hasenhuttl is also 8/1.
One name that would send ripples around Yorkshire should he be appointed is Marcelo Bielsa. Like Marsch, the Argentine has also not managed since being given the bullet by Leeds.
Bielsa still yields cult-hero status at United and has emerged as an outsider for several Premier League jobs in recent months. Famously, the eccentric 67-year-old flew to London for talks with Everton chiefs - only to tell them he wanted to coach the under-21s. BetVictor price him at 10/1 to become the new Palace boss.
