Top target Ange Postecoglou is set to disappoint Leicester as they look to secure a quick-fire replacement for Brendan Rodgers.
The English Premier League outfit have placed the Celtic manager and Graham Potter at the head of their shortlist as they hunt a new boss. But Leicester chiefs are aware they may have to appoint a stop-gap until the end of the season if they want either of their top choices with Rafa Benitez among the candidates for a short-term salvage role.
Postecoglou is wanted but with the Aussie on the verge of a second-successive title and a potential treble, the Midlands club are aware he’ll be staying in Glasgow and they won’t get him now. Leicester’s financial issues – which saw them post £92.5million losses last month – could also scare off Postecoglou and the King Power job is not the attractive proposition it was when Rodgers upped sticks in February 2019.
