Leicester City close to naming Brendan Rodgers' successor after missing Everton chance

Jesse Marsch is set to be named as the new manager of Leicester City after the sacking of Brendan Rodgers, according to reports.

Rodgers was dismissed less than 24 hours after last weekend's last-gasp 2-1 defeat at Crystal Palace, which left the Foxes in the Premier League relegation places just two years after they narrowly missed out on Champions League qualification.
