Crystal Palace chairman Steve Parish has said he looking for a manager who will be at the club for the long term.
Parish is currently searching for a new manager for the club after Sam Allardyce stepped down at the end of last season.
Two potential candidates for the job have recently committed their future to other clubs - Marco Silva to Watford and today Roberto Mancini was confirmed as the new manager of Zenit Saint Petersburg.
"We really want somebody who feels they can come in and help us improve the footballing side of the club over a long period of time," Parish told American radio station SiriusXM FC.
"That is what we are looking for. In the past we have had managers like Steve Coppell who have been at the club a long time and helped build the club. If we could get one of those relationships again that would be preferable.
"At the moment we have a long list and are honing that down. It is about what direction we want to go in from a playing style.
"We have got a personal and a way of playing. It has served us well. Do we try and change that again as we did with ALAN [PARDEW]?
"Or do we stick with what we have and try and be what we are, which is pretty effective?
"That is the first question we have to ask ourselves. That will inform probably where we go on the list of managers.
"After that you are just looking for somebody who has got a long-term view for the club. We do not really want someone who sees it as a stepping stone."
