Leicester City are now in the market for a new manager following the dismissal of Steve Cooper.
Whoever takes charge of the Foxes in the coming months is facing an uphill battle to keep the club in the Premier League.
Leicester City lost 2-1 vs Chelsea in their last outing and are now just one point away from the bottom three going into the next round of games.

After Leicester sacked Steve Cooper on Sunday, a number of names have already been touted as potential options to replace the 46-year-old at the King Power Stadium.
Graham Potter has ruled himself out of the Leicester job after once again being linked this week, while David Moyes is also not an option.
The Foxes have approached Ruud van Nistelrooy after he left Manchester United recently.
Elsewhere, West Bromwich Albion boss Carlos Corberan is among the favourites to replace Cooper in the Midlands.
Marc Albrighton verdict on Leicester City target Carlos Corberan
Corberan joined West Brom in 2022 and has now taken charge of over 100 games.
The Baggies are currently flying high in the Championship and well in contention to secure promotion to the Premier League this term.
During his time in The Hawthorns dugout, the Spaniard crossed paths with Leicester legend Marc Albrighton, who spent the second half of the 2023/24 campaign on loan from the Foxes.
Now, previous comments made by the former winger about Corberan on the No Tippy Tappy Football with Sam Allardyce podcast back in August have reemerged.
He said: “I think what he actually delivers and the way he delivers it is probably better than certain managers in the Premier League now. So I do think he deserves a shot at it at some point.
“He’s got a lot of information to give, he’s got a lot of experience in the way that he likes to do it. He doesn’t like to do things. He wasn’t really for me as a manager, I must admit, playing for him, it didn’t really click between me and him.
“I didn’t really enjoy the role that I was given and probably didn’t perform as well as I could.”

How much compensation Leicester City must pay to sign Carlos Corberan
Prior to Cooper replacing now-Chelsea boss Enzo Maresca over the summer, Coberan was one of the names under consideration by the Leicester owners.
The 41-year-old, of course, stayed put for the time being but is once again firmly in the picture to make the move to the King Power.
However, if Leicester are to lure the Championship high-flyer to the Midlands, they will have to pay up.
This comes with Spanish outlet Marca reporting on Tuesday that Leicester are ready to pay Corberan’s release clause, which stands at €2.5m (around £2.1m).
Whether or not West Brom would let their manager leave in the midst of such a good season remains to be seen but if they do, Leicester look set to pay up.
