Manchester City first team coach Enzo Maresca is the clear front-runner to take over at Leicester City.
A member of Pep Guardiola's first team staff at City, Marseca is very highly rated in the game.
Per The Mail, he is now the man that Leicester will turn to after relegation to the Championship.
Dean Smith was not able to keep the club in the Premier League after taking interim charge following Brendan Rodgers' sacking.
The likes of Scott Parker were in the running for the job, but Maresca is the preferred candidate.
The Italian has only been a head coach in one instance - a 14-game spell at Parma in 2021.
