Manchester City coach Enzo Maresca has held talks with Leicester City this week.
The first team coach, who is part of Pep Guardiola's staff at City, wants to take the next step in his career.
Per The Mail, the highly rated coach would like the chance to take over at the Foxes.
Leicester have not hired a permanent boss since Brendan Rodgers lost his job last season.
Dean Smith took interim charge but was unable to prevent their relegation to the Championship.
Scott Parker is also a candidate for the job, while Smith may yet get to stay on as well.
