The word in the media of late is that Ruud van Nistelrooy probably won't survive his impending meeting with Leicester City chairman Aiyawatt 'Khun Top' Srivaddhanaprabha. That rendezvous or summit is supposed to be taking place this very week. The showdown will presumably be at King Power Stadium or at the Foxes' luxury Seagrave training facility. Either way, the Dutchman will most likely not be in the dugout for Leicester's upcoming campaign back in the Championship.
Well, that's the case if we believe speculation and trust so-called in the know reporters along with our own discernment. Therefore City and the football-following public at large are left with an interesting situation: who exactly will manage the East Midlands team next season? Luckily claims from varying degrees of quality sources now suggest LCFC have a managerial wishlist. Four men have realistically been added if we analyse various journalistic stories.
So, we can reveal the names atop the King Power club's list of possible head coaches. Fascinatingly, an Arsenal legend was also added most recently. Will Como boss Cesc Fabregas join the Leicestershire outfit for 2025/26? Let's see what's been said.
Van Nistelrooy is plausibly on his way out of Leicester. So the only question is: 'who is a feasible replacement?', now that LCFC no longer as desirable. I'm unsure Fabregas would swap top flight Italy for tier two England, frankly.
Ex-Southampton gaffer Russell Martin is a fixture of hearsay regarding the Foxes role. He would be unsuited in my opinion.
Danny Rohl of Sheffield Wednesday is another name associated with City lately. Rohl was actually previously linked with the position.
