After three years at Leicester, Brendan Rodgers could be on borrowed time at the King Power Stadium.

The Foxes are just above the relegation zone in the Premier League after a brief improvement in form.

You do have to have some sympathy for Rodgers though with the Foxes selling their best players in every summer transfer window during his reign.

So, if the former Liverpool and Celtic manager is heading for the exit, who could replace him at Leicester?

Paddy’s trusty traders are here to help you separate the wheat from the chaff and they’ve priced up the runners and riders as to who might be the next Leicester manager.

Thomas Frank

Brentford gaffer Thomas Frank is the up there for the Leicester job. He’s attracting plenty of interest from the East Midlands as his team sit just outside the top six in the Premier League table.

He’s done a brilliant job with the Bees and he would surely be a good move for the Foxes, but would he be tempted to leave Brentford?

Rafa Benitez

Lets talk about facts. Rafa Benitez has a CV as long as his ill-fitting waistcoats and would surely be a steady hand at the King Power. It feels like a job he’d jump at, given his desire to work in England, and you suspect he’d do pretty well there as well.

Ralph Hasenhuttl

Former Southampton boss Ralph Hasenhuttl is available but is he an inspiring pick after his Saints side got done 9-0 twice under his reign?

Mauricio Pochettino

Mauricio Pochettino is still available after leaving PSG and his stock is always high after doing an impressive job at Tottenham. However, it remains to be seen whether Pochettino is keen to go from managing the likes of Lionel Messi to taking over Leicester’s out-of-form stars.

Marcelo Bielsa

Most football fans would love former Leeds boss Marcelo Bielsa to return to the Premier League. Who didn’t enjoy watching his ridiculous murderball?

Whether he’d keep Leicester up is unknown but the next few months/years would certainly be entertaining for the Foxes.

Daniel Farke

Former Norwich boss Daniel Farke has been making moves in this market. A specialist in failure in the Premier League with The Canaries he’s now in charge at Borussia Monchengladbach at The Bundesliga.

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer

Remember when John Terry said he’d refuse to play against Chelsea if he was at another club? If Ole Gunnar Solskjaer got the Leicester job, it kind of feels like a similar situation when the Foxes face Manchester United…

Solskjaer has been out of work since leaving Old Trafford but does he have the tactical nous to impress at Leicester?

Kasper Hjulmand

Kasper Hjulmand is boss of the Denmark national team.

The 50-year-old has only managed in homeland but he’s going to know the Premier League inside out with a number of his players plying their trade in England.

Hjulmand guided Denmark to the semi-finals of Euro 2020 where they lost against England in extra time at Wembley.
