Ex-Arsenal star, 47, targets Blackburn job with talks set to take place within days
The open position in Blackburn would be of interest to LUIS BOA MORTE.
Following John Eustace’s departure for relegation-threatened Derby last week, Championship team Rovers are searching for a new manager.
According to SunSport, Boa Morte, 47, a former midfielder for Arsenal, Southampton, Fulham, and West Ham, will speak with Ewood Park officials in the next few days.
After three years as Marco Silva’s No. 2 at Fulham, Boa Morte took over as coach of Guinea-Bissau’s national team in March.
But the ex-Portugal international would be convinced by the Rovers gig.
George Boateng, 49, a former midfielder for Middlesbrough and Aston Villa, is also a contender.
He has held a number of coaching positions in English football but only has one other managing position, at Kelantan in Malaysia.
Prior to leading the Blackburn youth team’s under-13 team in 2018, Boateng was a coach there.
After coaching the Ghana national team and Villa, he left Coventry City last year when Frank Lampard joined the Sky Blues.
Blackburn is aiming for a play-off spot and is presently ranked fifth in the Championship.
