Former Villarreal manager Marcelino is reportedly keen to continue his career in the Premier League.
The 51-year-old led Villarreal to a top-four finish in La Liga last season, but surprisingly left the Yellow Submarine before the start of the 2016-17 campaign after 'differences with the club's board of directors'.
According to AS, the Spaniard has received a number of offers over the last couple of months, but has been taking English lessons as he prepares to resume his managerial career in the Premier League.
Marcelino, who spent time with Sporting Gijon, Racing Santander, Levante and Elche during his playing days, also managed Sevilla for one season between 2011 and 2012 before switching to Villarreal.
Sunderland's David Moyes is currently the bookmakers' favourite to become the next Premier League manager to lose his job.
