Steve Clarke has conceded that he would be keen to discuss the managerial vacancy at Crystal Palace.
The hotseat, which Tony Pulis stepped down from just before the start of the new season, was expected to be filled by Malky Mackay.
However, following allegations of racist, sexist and homophobic text messages sent by the Scot to Palace's sporting director Iain Moody, who has since resigned, the club have turned their attention elsewhere.
Neil Lennon is the current frontrunner with the bookmakers, while former West Bromwich Albion head coach Clarke is the second favourite to be given the role at Selhurst Park.
Speaking to Sky Sports News this morning, the 50-year-old admitted that it would be "great" if Palace were to express an interest in his services.
"I want to work again and the Premier League is the place to work. If there is a job in the Premier League, obviously I'd be interested in it," he said.
"I haven't spoken to Palace at all. Palace have to make their own choices. The job is available again and I'm sure Palace will come up with their own list of names. If I'm on that then great."
Clarke has been out of work since he parted company with West Brom in December 2013.
