Names in the frame to take over at Leicester

Roberto Mancini is the early favourite to be the next Leicester City manager following the sacking of Claudio Ranieri. The former Manchester City boss has been installed as the 7/4 frontrunner with Alan Pardew a 5/1 shot and Argentine coach Marcelo Bielsa available at 6/1. Former Foxes boss Nigel Pearson is just 7/1 to make a shock return to the King Power with Wales incumbent Chris Coleman available at the same price. Ladbrokes News' William Geldart said: "Claudio Ranieri’s sacking will send shockwaves through the East Midlands but in the aftermath the odds suggest it’ll be Roberto Mancini who steps in to pick up the pieces."
