Steve Coppell has ruled himself out of the running to become Albion's manager again.
Coppell was tempted to link back up with the Seagulls.
But the 54-year-old is sitting tight for a Premier League or Championship job, which will be his last in management.
Albion chairman Tony Bloom revealed: "Steve was one of the first names to spring to mind, and would have been a leading candidate for the job, but on initial contact he ruled himself out.
"He is enjoying his time out of the game, after leaving Reading last summer, and I think only a very high profile job could tempt him back into football at this time."
Bloom added: "We have had a high number of quality applicants, and have now refined the shortlist and will continue with the process of evaluating and interviewing the leading contenders."
