Sky Sports understands Chris Hughton is in the frame for the Fulham manager's job.
Fulham are looking for a new boss after Felix Magath left the role last week following a miserable start to the season.
Kit Symons was placed in caretaker charge and stated after Tuesday night’s 2-1 Capital One Cup victory over Doncaster Rovers that he would be keen to take on the job permanently.
Fulham are considering their options and it is understood that former Newcastle United and Norwich City boss Hughton is in the running.
Hughton steered Newcastle to promotion from the Championship in 2010 and enhanced his reputation further with a stint at Birmingham City in 2011/12.
Birmingham managed to get into the play-offs despite playing in the Europa League, but they lost out in the semi-finals against Blackpool.
Hughton moved to Norwich the following season and guided them to 11th place in the Premier League in his first year at the helm, before leaving the role this April.
He is now in contention to go to Fulham, who are currently bottom of the Championship table after earning just a single point from eight games.
