Currently at the helm of Ligue 1 side Nantes and under contract to June 2018, it would be a surprise for him to leave so soon after taking over in December 2016.

It would be his first Premier League experience for the man who was a player in Serie A with Lazio, Inter and Parma.

The 42-year-old Portuguese Coach has worked at Olhanense, Coimbra, Braga, Vitoria Guimaraes and since December Nantes.
