Walter Mazzarri is not interested in managing Crystal Palace, reports in Italy say.
Mazzarri is believed to be one of the candidates to succeed Sam Allardyce at Selhurst Park.
Palace chiefs have spoken to Sean Dyche, Mauricio Pellegrino and Roger Schmidt this week about the vacant managerial role.

And Italian publication Calciomercato.it reports that former Watford and Inter Milan manager Mazzarri is looking to boss a bigger club than Palace.
The 55-year-old coach has reportedly turned down a job offer from Chinese outfit Jiangsu Suning for the same reason.
Mazzarri guided Watford to Premier League safety in a turbulent 2016/17 season, which ended in six successive defeats.
