According to Skysport, Nuno Espirito Santo is no longer expected to become Crystal Palace’s new manager after talks over a deal broke down on Tuesday night.

The 47-year-old left Wolves by mutual consent at the end of the season and was close to being appointed as Roy Hodgson’s successor at #CPFC.

Palace are thought to have identified a number of alternatives to Nuno, who has also held talks with Everton following Carlo Ancelotti’s return to Real Madrid last week.

The Eagles have also considered Frank Lampard, Patrick Vieira, Swansea manager Steve Cooper, and Barnsley’s highly-rated coach, Valerian Ismael.
