Leicester have sacked manager Steve Cooper following their 2-1 defeat to Chelsea in the Premier League.
Cooper, who took over from former boss Enzo Maresca in the summer, leaves the King Power Stadium with the club two points off the bottom three with two wins in 12 matches.
The Foxes announced assistant manager Alan Tate and first team coach and analyst Steve Rands have also left the club.
Ruud van Nistelrooy is favourite to take over at 10/11 with Sky Bet, with David Moyes (3/1) and Graham Potter (4/1) the only others trading at single-figure prices.
Former Leicester striker Mark Robins just 10/1 despite having been let go by Championship strugglers Coventry and it's 16/1 bar, with recent interim England manager Lee Carsley also included in the list at 20/1.
- 10/11 Ruud van Nistelrooy
- 3/1 David Moyes
- 4/1 Graham Potter
- 10/1 Mark Robins
- 16/1 Carlos Corberan
- 20/1 Lee Carsley
- 25/1 bar
