As per reports, Steven Gerrard is on Leicester City’s priority list of managers as the club is speculating on signing a new manager who will help them win the EFL Championship League.
Leicester City was relegated in this season of the English Premier League and is looking forward to signing a manager who will help the club to qualify for the EPL next season. The 2015 Premier League champions would be hoping to get back to the top tier as soon as possible.
Steven Gerrard’s sources are in talks with Leicester and will have a strong chance of landing the role. At first Leicester City’s first choice was former Chelsea manager Graham Potter.
But Potter didn’t want an immediate managerial role after Chelsea sacked him. The former Brighton and Hove Albion manager is also linked with Nice, a club which is owned by Sir Jim Ratcliffe.
After Brendan Rodgers was sacked in April Leicester City appointed Dean Smith as the new manager. But he was unable to help the club from relegation.
