Jesse Marsch will not be Leicester City’s next manager.
The American had been lined up to replace Brendan Rodgers, who was recently sacked by the Foxes following a poor run of results. However, despite seeming the clear favorite to replace Ireland’s Rodgers, Marsch will not be taking the role after talks completely broke down.
Still on the lookout for Rodgers’ long-term successor, Leicester City’s board are reportedly eyeing up a move for former Liverpool and Newcastle United boss Rafa Benitez.
🚨 Understand Leicester have opened talks with Rafa Benitez as potential new head coach to replace Brendan Rodgers.
Negotiations ongoing trying to find an agreement with the Spanish coach.
