No surprise, Frank Vogel has expressed interest in the Knicks job, according to an NBA source.

Vogel, who was lights-out as the Pacers’ head coach (2011-16), was fired by the Magic after consecutive 50-plus loss seasons, posting a 54-110 overall record in Orlando.

Knicks general manager Scott Perry, then serving as the Magic assistant GM, was part of the hiring process to bring Vogel aboard in Orlando in May 2016.

Steve Mills, now the Knicks’ president, nearly agreed to hire Vogel, 44, to come to the Garden while serving as GM during the same period. However, then-president Phil Jackson chose Jeff Hornacek, who was fired in the early-morning hours Thursday at Westchester County Airport.

According to a source, the Knicks’ brass have had internal discussions about Vogel. Team officials will meet this weekend after exit interviews to compile a more official candidate list that is expected to be lengthy, a source said.

The exit interviews conclude Saturday, highlighted by Kristaps Porzingis’ meeting, after which he will continue his rehab in Latvia. Porzingis blew off last season’s meeting in protest of the way the franchise was being run.

Another potential interesting candidate hit the market Friday when Hornets coach Steve Clifford, a former Knicks assistant and Adelphi head coach, was fired by new GM Mitch Kupchak after five seasons.

Clifford is from the Jeff Van Gundy coaching tree and shares the same agent as Perry. Charlotte reportedly has ex-Grizzlies coach David Fizdale high on its list — as do the Knicks.

At Thursday’s press conference to explain Hornacek’s dismissal, Perry said he has been flooded with calls from interested candidates and their representatives.

Vogel was hired to develop Orlando’s young talent and install a defensive mindset, but neither happened, leading the new Magic regime to fire the South Jersey product.

Earlier this month, Vogel said he thought he had the Knicks’ job locked up in 2016.

“I was surprised when I wasn’t,” Vogel said. “I interviewed with Phil Jackson and Steve Mills, we had a good couple days together. They said they had one more person they wanted to talk to before they wrapped up the process, and they met with Jeff [Hornacek], and Jeff must’ve blown them away.”
