Carlos Corberan and Graham Potter seem to have the most outstanding odds on the next Leicester manager. Potter, having a point to prove after his struggle at Chelsea a few years ago, will be looking to resurface and succeed once again.
It seems much more likely that Leicester would dive into the market for a more experienced manager to keep the club afloat in the Premier League next season. Someone like David Moyes could do wonders for a club with limited player resources.
The best Leicester next manager odds however, lie in the hands of Corberan and Graham, both very strong contenders to take the mantle for the Premier League season after the Euros.
