Jesse Marsch: Leicester close to appointing ex-Leeds boss

Brendan Rodgers' four-year spell was ended by a 2-1 defeat at Crystal Palace last weekend, a result which saw the Foxes slip into the Premier League's relegation zone.

Caretaker duo Mike Stowell and Adam Sadler then oversaw a 1-0 home defeat by Bournemouth on Easter Saturday, meaning Leicester have taken just a point from their last eight games.

Former RB Leipzig boss Marsch was replaced Marcelo Bielsa as Leeds head coach in February 2022 and was sacked almost exactly a year later with the club hovering just above the relegation zone having won 11 of his 37 games in charge.
