FRANK DE BOER is set to make a swift return to management - with Spanish strugglers Deportivo La Coruna.
Crystal Palace axed the Dutchman after a brief and disastrous spell that saw the Eagles lose their opening four Premier League games without scoring a single goal.
De Boer, 47, broke the record for the Premier League's shortest reign as a boss. His one victory was a 2-1 Carabao Cup win over Championship Ipswich at Selhurst Park.
However Deportivo have now lined up the former Barcelona star to become their next coach after their own dismal start to the campaign.
Managed by ex-West Brom boss Pepe Mel, they have taken just four points from their opening six La Liga games to slump into the drop zone.
Club officials are understood to have approached De Boer's advisors about a potential return to Spain.
And 54-year-old Mel's position has come under ever greater scrutiny following Saturday's 4-1 defeat at Espanyol.
Former Rangers star De Boer's reputation remains high in Spain despite his struggles with Palace and at Inter Milan last year.

Palace have lost both their Premier League games under De Boer's successor Roy Hodgson - 1-0 at home to Southampton and 5-0 at leaders Manchester City.
