Roberto Mancini is the favourite to replace Claudio Ranieri on the Leicester City bench after the Premier League winner was fired.
The decision to sack the immensely-popular Ranieri just nine months after their fairy-tale season has been roundly condemned by fans, colleagues and pundits.
Roma Coach Luciano Spalletti also invited Ranieri to visit his hometown club.
Roberto Mancini is the favourite to replace Claudio Ranieri on the Leicester City bench after the Premier League winner was fired.
The decision to sack the immensely-popular Ranieri just nine months after their fairy-tale season has been roundly condemned by fans, colleagues and pundits.
Roma Coach Luciano Spalletti also invited Ranieri to visit his hometown club.
Now the race is on to find a replacement and another Italian tactician is the hot favourite.
Mancini left Inter just two weeks before the start of the Serie A season and is a free agent.
He has been waiting for the right opportunity and Leicester City could well represent a good fit, as they are still in the Champions League.
The Foxes lost the first leg 2-1 away to Sevilla last night and that is what prompted the club to sack Ranieri.
Mancini already won the Premier League with Manchester City and did have a very brief spell with Leicester as a player.
