Chris Coleman, Steve McClaren and Alan Pardew are the early favourites to replace Carlos Carvalhal as next manager of Swansea City.
Carvalhal will leave the club at the end of the season following their all-but-certain relegation to the Sky Bet Championship, according to reports.
The former Sheffield Wednesday boss managed to lift Swansea off the bottom of the table and out of the drop zone, but recent results have seen them dragged back in.
Following their 4-1 victory over West Ham at the beginning of March, the Swans were 13th in the Premier League standings with just nine games of the season remaining.
Tuesday's defeat to Southampton was the final nail-in-the-coffin for the Welsh side's survival hopes, with the Saints three points clear with a superior goal difference.
Coleman has been out of work since departing Sunderland after their relegation to Sky Bet League One, whilst McClaren is on the hunt for a job having left Maccabi Tel Aviv in December where he was a coaching consultant.
The former England manager has been linked with Queens Park Rangers in recent weeks.
Swansea need an 10-goal swing in their favour on final day, where they host already relegated Stoke City.
Southampton face champions Manchester City, but a miracle is required to keep Carvalhal's men in the top-flight.
The 52-year-old had made an incredibly promising start to life at the Liberty Stadium, with wins over Liverpool and Arsenal leading to a Manager of the Month nomination in January.
However, a run of nine games without victory, including four defeats in their last four outings, has led to Carvalhal leaving the club.
The Portuguese coach has a 33.3% win ratio at Swansea, winning eight of the 24 games he has overseen.
