A former Doncaster Rovers boss has emerged as the favourite to lead Leicester City into the 2026/27 season.
Leicester are set to compete in League One next term having endured a dismal and humiliating season back in the second tier.
The Foxes were condemned to a second consecutive relegation and it remains to be seen whether or not they will retain faith in Gary Rowett, who is out of contract following the campaign’s conclusion.
Leicester’s chairman Aiyawatt Srivaddhanaprabha said:“To our fans, relegation to League One is now confirmed. As chairman, that responsibility sits with me. There are no excuses.
“We have experienced the highest highs and now the lowest lows, and the pain is shared by all of us. I am truly sorry for the disappointment we have caused. I understand the strength of feeling among our supporters, and we do not take your support for granted, especially at moments like this.
“Our focus now is on what comes next. We will take the necessary decisions to move the club forward, working together to rebuild, improve, and restore the standards expected of Leicester City. Our objective is clear – to respond strongly and compete to move this club forward again. We will face this head-on. We will keep going.”
Here are the BetVictor favourites to be in charge of Leicester for the 2026/27 season.
