Leicester City remain in absolute limbo at present, in spite of the 2025/26 season only recently concluding. Fans want to know just who will be in charge on Filbert Way next term; Along with which players are potentially leaving. Not to mention, and arguably most importantly - which footballers will join the Foxes.
Until these questions are answered, generally in their entirety, predicting what will happen in the subsequent campaign is borderline impossible.
​Yet LCFC are already tipped to be triumphant in 2026/27 by some fans, experts and AI simulations nonetheless.
A recent Football League World publication detailed an intriguing prediction. They claim a relegated City will comfortably secure the League One title next season, unforeseeable as that scenario is.
​Many managers are linked with the top position at King Power Stadium, although - they always are. The shorter odds are typically extremely indicative of what is occurring at any organisation.
Leicester City head coach speculation
​Which bosses have decent placing in the bookies' 'Next Leicester Manager Odds' charts? First of all, former Southampton gaffer Russell Martin's name simply won't go away.
The legendary Christian Fuchs appears to be in with a shout, in spite of BBC Sport's conflicting reporting. Chris Davies is another mentioned.
​But Darren Ferguson is now evens for the role. This dramatic shift firmly establishes the veteran tactician as the definitive frontrunner to spearhead the Leicester's impending third-tier revival.
"Darren Ferguson
Previous Team:
Peterborough United
Departed: 25.10.25
1/1"
​The Scot represents a deeply polarising yet undeniably experienced candidate for a demanding fan base. As his legendary father's son, he carries a prestigious footballing lineage alongside a proven track record of orchestrating multiple promotions from this exact level.
In general, supporters in LE2 feel unhappy with Ferguson; some City fans must lower their lofty expectations. Foxes of Leicester writer (and Posh fan) Kelan Sarson suggests the former Peterborough United man could be ideal, if only for a year or two.
