Leicester City assistant manager Craig Shakespeare is out in front in the race to become the Foxes’ new manager.
City’s impressive 3-1 win against Liverpool on Monday night seems to have given Shakespeare, a popular number two at the club under Ranieri, momentum ahead of other candidates.
Shakespeare is 15/8 with Ladbrokes and 11/10 with Skybet, however Leicester-based bookies, Mark Jarvis, have former England boss Roy Hodgson as favourite at 4/6 ahead of Shakespeare on 2/1, Guus Hiddink is 10/1 and former City boss Nigel Pearson and Alan Pardew both on 14/1.
David Chatwin, manager of the club’s official merchandise store, said: “There’s a few in the hat, but I’m definitely in favour of Roy Hodgson coming in.
“He’s got a lot of experience, particularly with keeping teams in the Premier League, and he’s managed England. You can’t really ask for more than that.”
