Blackburn Rovers make an approach to speak with Blackpool manager Michael Appleton.

Blackburn Rovers have made an official approach to hold talks with Blackpool manager Michael Appleton.

Rovers sacked previous boss Henning Berg on December 27 after six months in charge at Ewood Park.

"I can confirm that we have made an official approach to Blackpool FC about our interest in speaking to Michael Appleton," Blackburn managing director Derek Shaw told the club's official website.

"This is the only candidate we have approached for the manager's job."

Appleton signed a one-year rolling contract with Blackpool in November following a short spell with Portsmouth.
