Former Brighton, Chelsea, and Newcastle United players emerge as candidates for the Leicester City job ahead of the Aston Villa match.
A look at the latest managerial candidates for Leicester City ahead of their match against Aston Villa.
Leicester City have parted ways with Brendan Rodgers ahead of their Tuesday night match against Aston Villa at the King Power Stadium. Following their 2-1 loss at Crystal Palace over the weekend, the Foxes have slipped into the relegation zone.
They must make a big decision on who will be their next manager if they are to avoid relegation to the Championship. The 2016 Premier League champions are currently one point away from relegation.
Following his dismissal by Chelsea, Graham Potter has emerged as the early frontrunner for the position. Following his departure from Stamford Bridge, the Solihull-born man will have to consider his next move in the game, and he will be eager to reestablish his reputation in the game after a difficult spell in London.
Rafa Benitez is another early contender who has been out of the dugout since Everton sacked him in January 2022. He has extensive managerial experience, having previously worked at Liverpool, Inter Milan, Chelsea, Napoli, and Newcastle United.
Celtic’s Ange Postecoglou, Bristol City’s Nigel Pearson, and Blackburn Rovers’ Jon Dahl Tomasson are also in contention for the Foxes, as are the available Ralph Hassenhutl, Steven Gerrard, and Jesse Marsch.
