All the noise around Leicester City suggests that there will be a new manager in the dugout next season.

Despite Leicester’s draw with Brighton & Hove Albion at the weekend, the Ruud van Nistelrooy era has been one to forget.

With no win since 26 January, the Foxes are still set to head back to the Championship and the current Leicester manager’s future could be in doubt.

A number of names have been linked, but one target may have to be ruled out with a German giant sniffing around.

One of the more popular names that have been tipped for the top job at the King Power Stadium is Sheffield Wednesday boss Danny Rohl.

The Foxes are one of several sides keen on Rohl, with already-relegated Southampton rumoured to be interested too.

In the end it could be neither of those and according to Sky Sports Deutschland, RB Leipzig are continuing talks with the German.

Phillip Hinze added that Cesc Fabregas is the number one option but Rohl remains on the shortlist.

Jurgen Klopp is also said to be a fan of Rohl, who has done wonders in a difficult environment at Hillsborough.

Leicester know that Rohl won’t discuss his future until the season is done, with his full focus on an outside shout of a top six finish with Wednesday.

In March, he told the Yorkshire Post: “All the rumours don’t influence me. My full energy is here with Sheffield Wednesday.

“I am not listening to left and right. My focus is here because I know what we have to do, I know my responsibility to this group, to the club, for our massive fans.”
