The 45 candidates for next Leicester manager have a new leader

According to the source consulted here, Sky Bet, the possibilities for the potential subsequent Leicester City manager are exhaustive and myriad. As of today (Tuesday, January 27) there are supposedly 45 candidates to be the next Foxes boss. And that enormous group is now said to have a new leader.

While the Blue Army fan base will be pleased for the famous and iconic contender, he does not offer that prerequisite managerial experience. It is also worth nothing that in addition to realistic options, the bookmakers also add anyone even slightly 'in the realm of possibility' to cover their backs. So, what's the score?

As you can tell, one or two of those suggestions simply will not transpire. For example, the faithful would welcome back Jamie Vardy in any capacity. Yet it is severely unlikely that he'll return as a player/manager for now.

King is not likely to be installed permanently. That is, unless he goes on a great run.
