Former France manager Raymond Domenech and well-travelled Giovanni Trapattoni are on a list of 60 coaches named as candidates to take over as national coach of the Ivory Coast.
The African champions are looking for a coach to replace Herve Renard, who led them to the African Nations Cup title in February but has since taken over at Ligue 1 club Lille.
Domenech, who was in charge of France at two World Cups, is joined on the list by compatriots Jose Anigo, formerly of Olympique Marseille, and Frederic Antonetti, who was last in charge at Stade Rennes.
