Former England head-coach Roy Hodgson is set to be named as the new manager of Leicester City. After reports emerged earlier this week that the 69-year-old had held secret talks with the club’s owners prior to last Monday’s 3-1 home win over Liverpool, The Sun states that bookmakers have suspended betting on him becoming the new man in charge at the champions.
 

Caretaker boss Craig Shakespeare has reportedly been the players’ coach to succeed Claudio Ranieri and after a wonderful display against one of Hodgson’s former clubs earlier this week, it looked as though he would become the number one choice.
 

Hodgson has always maintained that he wants a quick return to management and it now looks as though the man whose last competitive game in charge was England’s shock 2-1 defeat to Iceland at Euro 2016, will be the man charged with the task of keeping the reigning Premier League champions in English football’s top-flight next season.
