SunSport understands former Arsenal, Southampton, Fulham and West Ham midfielder Boa Morte, 47, is set to hold talks with Ewood Park chiefs in the coming days.
Boa Morte has been in charge of the Guinea-Bissau national team since March, following a three-year stint as Marco Silva’s No 2 at Fulham.
He left Coventry City last year after the arrival of Frank Lampard to the Sky Blues after spells coaching the Ghana national team and Villa.
Former Aston Villa and Middlesbrough midfielder George Boateng, 49, is also in the running.
LUIS BOA MORTE would be interested in the vacant Blackburn job.
