Three time UEFA Champions league winner Carlo Ancelotti is the stature of manager the foxes are looking to sign, but the Italian would be likely looking for a bigger job after recently leaving Bundesliga champions Bayern Munich. Roberto Mancini a former Leicester City player who also led Manchester City to the title in 2012 has distanced himself from the job, Sam Allardyce who has helped Sunderland and Crystal Palace escape relegation in the past two seasons is more interested in the vacant USA national-team job instead of taking over a relegation-threatened team again.
