Foxes to take time over finding Sven's successor
Leicester vice-chairman Aiyawatt Raksriaksorn insists they have not had any contact with Martin O'Neill over the managerial vacancy at the King Power Stadium.
Former Foxes boss O'Neill is thought to be the No.1 target to succeed Sven Goran Eriksson following the Swede's sacking on Monday.
O'Neill, who has been out of work since he left Aston Villa on the eve of last season, is a big fans' favourite at Leicester after five successful seasons in charge of the club between 1995 and 2000.
Raksriaksorn claims they have yet to make any approach for O'Neill and that they will consider all applicants for the role.
Asked if there had been any contact with O'Neill, Raksriaksorn told
Sky Sports News: "Not yet. Maybe I don't want to say that because I have to open my mind now and it is not just what the news or fans want.
"I have to listen to everyone and make a decision very carefully.
"I would say now I don't decide anything yet individually, I don't want to mention anyone yet because I want to see all applications first and then I will decide."
Asked if he had a replacement in mind for Eriksson, Raksriaksorn added: "Not yet I have to see all the people who contacted the club and make a decision later.
"I don't know how many [applications have been received] but quite a lot."
