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.
