A former first league star could be online to become the new Blackburn manager.
The club management position is now vacant after the news that John Eustace had left the Derby County threatening relegation last week.
Blackburn expressed his disappointment at Eustace’s decision, but understood his desire to get closer to his family and join a club for which he played before.
The acting boss David Lowe supervised 2-0 victories on West Brom and Plymouth since Eustace jumped the ship, but the club has been working on a permanent replacement.
And the former Arsenal midfielder Luis Boa Morte is in the running to take charge, according to the Sun.
The report claims that the 47 -year -old man is expected to meet with Ewood Park leaders in the near future.

Boa Morte became director of the Guinea-Bissau national team after being assistant in Fulham
Boa Morte is currently responsible for the national team of Guinea-Bissau, having taken the post last March after three years as No 2 from Marco Silva in Fulham.
The former international of Portugal played for Arsenal, Southampton, West Ham United and Fulham, marking 29 goals in 295 Premier League appearances.
He won 28 international caps with Portugal, notably representing the 2006 World Cup team where he made a single appearance.
During his player career, he also won the Premier League and FA Cup with Arsenal, playing for the Gunners between 1997 and 1999 before playing for Southampton.
After hanging up his boots in 2013, the 46 -year -old man appreciated spells working as an assistant coach in Everton and Maccabi Haifa, while assuming screening roles with Arsenal.
His only previous management experience was with Sintenrense, where he took charge of the Portuguese fourth division for several months in 2017.
He is not the only former top Flight player to consider with George Boateng another potential candidate. The legend of Liverpool, Steven Gerrard, is another name in the mix while the owner of Wolves Gary O’Neil is the favorite of bookmakers.
Blackburn is fifth in the championship and is underway to qualify for the play-offs.
