Leicester chiefs will not rush managerial appointment after sacking Craig Shakespeare as they seek a big nameWales' Chris Coleman is among those in the frame — but caretaker Michael Appleton won't take permanent charge
Leicester are prepared to wait for a big name to become their new manager.
The club's owner Vichai Srivaddhanaprabha wants to make a high-profile appointment to replace Craig Shakespeare after his sacking on Monday, but it is understood no immediate successor has been lined up.
Former AC Milan, Chelsea, Paris Saint-Germain, Real Madrid and Bayern Munich boss Carlo Ancelotti is the stature of boss the Foxes are looking for, but he is likely to want a bigger job after recently being fired by the Bundesliga champions.
Ex-Manchester City boss Roberto Mancini, a former Leicester player, has distanced himself from the running.
Also clubless Sam Allardyce is interested in the vacant USA national-team job and does not want to jump back into another relegation fight having saved Sunderland and Crystal Palace from the drop in the past two seasons.
Wales boss Chris Coleman is among the bookies’ favourites after their failure to reach the World Cup qualification play-offs next month.
Leicester interviewed Roy Hodgson, Ryan Giggs and Martin O’Neill before giving last season's caretaker boss Shakespeare the job permanently in the summer.
Burnley's Sean Dyche could be tempted if it is seen as a step up, but the Foxes have got designs on looking abroad first.Huddersfield’s David Wagner could be another domestic option, after steering the Yorkshiremen to promotion from the Championship last season.
Leicester had reservations about giving Shakespeare the job permanently despite his impressive run after stepping up from No2 in February to replace sacked title-winner Claudio Ranieri, who is now enjoying a brilliant return to form with French club Nantes.
Shakespeare's right-hand man Michael Appleton will take charge for the trip to Swansea on Sunday but is not in the frame to get the job full-time.
