Leicester City have reportedly opened talks with former Newcastle United manager Rafa Benitez over the managerial vacancy at the King Power Stadium.
Brendan Rodgers left the club by mutual consent following Leicester's 2-1 defeat against Crystal Palace at Selhurst Park on April 1. The Foxes have gone onto lose against Aston Villa and Bournemouth since his departure, and are still on the look-out for a new manager.
Jesse Marsch was the frontrunner for the job, and even attended the defeat against Bournemouth as the former Leeds boss entered talks with the club. However, the American has since turned down the chance to replace Rodgers, and Leicester have quickly turned their attentions elsewhere.
