Crystal Palace are looking for a long-term manager who is sympathetic to the playing style of the team after the departure of Sam Allardyce, says club chairman Steve Parish.
The last manager to spend more than two years at Selhurst Park was Neil Warnock, and Palace have bounced between stop-gap solutions since his first spell ended in 2010.
Parish is hopeful that they can sign a coach similar to Steve Coppell, who had a nine-year spell from 1984 to 1993.
'We really want somebody who feels they can come in and help us improve the footballing side of the club over a long period of time,' Parish told American radio station SiriusXM FC.
