The reported frontrunner for the Leicester City head coach position has been named. And this update transpires in spite of Ruud van Nistelrooy's continued association with the King Power club. Interestingly, the supposed leader of the race is said to be keen on securing the top Foxes job too. Who is this mystery manager linked with LCFC?
Current Foxes management situation
There is seemingly a frontrunner for Leicester City's currently filled manager position, if we believe bookmakers. Like I say, Ruud van Nistelrooy remains in charge of an absent offseason squad at the moment. Though the ex-Manchester United interim boss and player is thought to be hanging on by a thread at King Power Stadium.
Therefore the main focus, though arguably premature, focuses on supposed candidates in the running to succeed the Dutchman on Filbert Way. LCFC must get this selection right, as they did with current Chelsea gaffer and former Foxes head coach Enzo Maresca. A similar strategist and motivator to the Italian would suit the East Midlanders as I view the situation.
And bookies do have a likely, and sometime unlikely, shortlist of potential names to take over at Leicester. The contenders in question are apparently not selected at random, they are bosses meant to be in contention at City. If Profit and Sustainability parameters don't hold LCFC back, a new person could be in the hot seat very soon.
The list grows and shortens when managerial appointments are made and, conversely, as managers are sacked. New contract agreements also alter the motion regarding a possible Foxes change. Evidently one man has become prominent with oddsmakers. Interestingly, it has now been claimed that this so-called leading applicant is actually keen on securing the LCFC job.
Frontrunner for Leicester City's top job reportedly wants the role
Let's hear the latest on Danny Rohl's apparent connection with City:
"Reports from EFL Analysis on Thursday said Rohl "really wants" to move to City and the 36-year-old German has not hid his desire to progress in the world of football management."
