Leicester City will be on the lookout for a new manager when current boss’ Gary Rowett’s contract expires at the end of the season.The Foxes relegation to League 1 was confirmed after a 2-2 draw with Hull City on Tuesday, exactly 10 years after the club were crowned Premier League champions. Rowett took over the club in February after Marti Cifuentes was sacked but couldn’t turn the club’s fortunes around.Leicester have been battling relegation for most of the season and losing their appeal of a six point deduction for financial regularities two weeks ago left them in a perilous position. talkSPORT BET – Bet £10 get £40 in free bets – CLAIM HERE*Owner Aiyawatt “Top” Srivaddhanaprabha was at the centre of intense criticism after the full time whistle at the King Power on Tuesday night. But it will be up to him to appoint a new manager for only the club’s second ever season in the third-tier in their 142-year history. And it’s former Rangers and Southampton manager Russell Martin who leads the way in the betting. Martin took Saints up to the Premier League in 2024, the stand out gem on his managerial CV to date. As he led Southampton to a club-record 25-game unbeaten run on the way to promotion through the play-offs. His Rangers tenure was a disappointing one, spanning 123 days. With Martin is the shortest-serving manager in Rangers’ history. But his career in the EFL with clubs like MK Dons and Swansea show a manager who can get his message and stylistic approach across to a group of players. Another former Southampton manager is next in the running. Austrian gaffer Ralph Hasenhuttl has been out of work since leaving his post at Wolfsburg in May 2025. He enjoyed a great start to his career on the South Coast and still has some good faith amongst Saints fans despite a pair of 9-0 losses on his scorecard, including against Leicester in 2019.Next Leicester manager oddsRussell Martin – 5/1Ralph Hasenhuttl – 8/1Michael Skubala – 10/1Alan Sheehan – 12/1Enzo Maresca – 14/1Kevin Muscat – 14/1Dean Smith – 16/1Ole Gunnar Solskjaer – 16/1Steven Gerrard – 16/1Will Still – 16/1Slaven Bilic – 16/1Lee Carsley – 20/1Nigel Pearson – 20/1Robbie Savage – 25/1Damien Duff – 33/133/1 BARView full list of ‘Next Leicester manager odds‘ HERE.There’s a pair of former Leicester manager’s in contention too.
