Leicester City parted ways with Brendan Rodgers after four years in charge on Sunday and now the race to be the next Foxes boss will heat up.

A poor run of form cost Rodgers his job and the 2-1 defeat to fellow relegation battlers Crystal Palace on Saturday was the final straw, as the 2021 FA Cup winners slipped into the Premier League’s bottom three.

The Northern Irishman’s impressive record during his time at the King Power Stadium – which included an FA Cup, Community Shield, two top-five Premier League finishes and a first-ever European semi-final – couldn’t save him in the face of a drop into the Championship and the new boss’s main priority will be top-flight survival.

The likes of Brentford coach Thomas Frank, Celtic’s Ange Postecoglou, ex-Leeds man Marcelo Bielsa, veteran Rafa Benitez and former Spurs and PSG boss Mauricio Pochettino are all in the frame to take the role.

Here are the latest odds as to who will be named the next Leicester boss:
