Roberto Mancini is the early favourite with Sky Bet to replace Claudio Ranieri as Leicester City manager.
The former Manchester City boss heads Sky Bet's early prices at 11/10 to replace the title-winning Ranieri as the man in charge at the King Power Stadium.
The online bookmaker rates Alan Pardew, who was sacked by Crystal Palace in December, as the second most likely contender to be named as the new manager of the Foxes at 5/1, along with former Leicester boss Nigel Pearson.
Pearson led the club to the Championship title in the 2013/14 season, before helping them to avoid relegation from the Premier League in the following campaign.
Former Ajax and Inter Milan chief Frank de Boer can be backed at 6/1 and there is an interesting contender from Leicester's recent past at 8/1 with Sky Bet.
Former Birmingham City manager Gary Rowett is also priced up as an option at 8/1.
Martin O'Neill is the other former boss of the Foxes who could be in the frame for a return.
O'Neill, who won two League Cups with Leicester during his spell in charge between 1995 and 2000, is on offer at 12/1 to replace Ranieri.
