Latest Leicester City news from LeicestershireLive as the search for a new manager continues at the King Power Stadium
Steven Gerrard reportedly has a strong chance of becoming the new manager at Leicester City.
Gerrard’s time at Aston Villa did not go to plan after taking over from Dean Smith. However, he is said to be keen to get back into management after leaving Villa last year.
The former Rangers chief has since been linked with several jobs including Leeds United, who are said to have him in the top three to take over at Elland Road. The Sun now reports that Liverpool legend Gerrard has emerged as a new name on the list and has a “strong chance.”
The report adds that Gerrard would also bring former City player Gary McAllister as his backroom staff. Leicester are looking to appoint a permanent manager this summer after Smith’s short-term deal came to an end.
City, who are long-term admirers of Graham Potter, had him as the club’s first choice after parting company with Brendan Rodgers. The club has reportedly made another approach in an attempt to convince the former Brighton and Chelsea boss to take over.
Potter is also in demand elsewhere, having been linked with Nice in Ligue 1 following his brief and ill-fated stint at Stamford Bridge.
