Leicester City are considering making Liverpool legend Steven Gerrard their new boss as they look for a way back to the Premier League next season.
The Foxes, who were relegated to the Championship on the final day of the campaign, are holding talks to appoint a manager on a permanent basis after Dean Smith failed to save the former Premier League winners.
Ex-Liverpool boss Brendan Rodgers was sacked as Leicester manager in April and replaced on a temporary basis by Smith. But despite that change, the Foxes followed Leeds United and Southampton into the second tier.
