Lee Clark is in talks with Blackpool about becoming their new manager, according to Sky sources.
Blackpool sacked Jose Riga on Monday evening, just over four months after his appointment at Bloomfield Road.
Riga has been struggling to take the club forward since his arrival and Blackpool are sitting bottom of the Championship after 14 games.
Blackpool chairman Karl Oyston had previously approached Owen Coyle and Gary Rowett about taking the job, but both turned down the opportunity, with the latter appointed by Birmingham – the club who sacked Clark earlier this month - on Monday afternoon.
The Seasiders confirmed the departure of the 57-year-old with a brief statement on the club's official website from Oyston.
"We couldn't leave the decision any longer to give someone else the opportunity to help us work our way out of the position we are currently in," the Blackpool chairman said.
