Roy Hodgson is viewed strictly as a short-term appointment at Crystal Palace.
The Daily Mail says Palace remain committed to appointing a new long-term manager in the summer despite rehiring Roy Hodgson on Tuesday.
Hodgson, 75, and his assistant Ray Lewington started by holding a key strategy meeting as they began plotting Palace's route to Premier League survival.
The pair are hopeful that at least three wins from their remaining 10 matches would be enough to preserve their top-flight status.
Palace, who host Leicester City a week on Saturday, have not won in 13 games and are three points clear of the relegation zone.
Hodgson, who replaces Patrick Vieira, has agreed an interim deal until the end of the season which includes a significant bonus if he keeps Palace up.
A number of managers the club are interested in appointing, such as Nottingham Forest boss Steve Cooper, are currently in work.
But Palace hope they will be available by the summer, when they will look for a more long-term appointment.
