Brentford manager Thomas Frank has emerged as favourite to replace Brendan Rodgers, as pressure continues to build on the Foxes boss.
Leicester have been a consistent top-half Premier League side since their historic 2015-16 season, where they beat 5000/1 odds to win the title. However, this year has been a complete contrast as they 16th, level on points with Bournemouth in the relegation zone.
Rodgers took the reigns at Leicester in 2019 and has managed 202 matches for the foxes, winning the FA Cup in the process. These achievements have not been replicated this season and supporters have started to doubt the northern Irish coach, with a potential sacking on the cards.
His side have lost their last five matches in all competitions, including a shock cup defeat to Championship outfit, Blackburn. Repeated injuries to star man James Maddison have hindered the once Premier League champions, making relegation a real possibility.

One man that has been linked with the job is Brentford manager, Thomas Frank. His Brentford side currently sit in ninth place, but with games in hand on the teams above them. The Bees have shocked the league this season, holding victories over both Manchester clubs.
Another possible candidate is Premier League veteran Rafa Benitez, as he looks to step back into management. The Spaniard has managed Liverpool and Newcastle previously, with his last job also coming in England as he took charge of Everton in 2021-2022.
