Next Leicester manager – latest odds: Pochettino favourite if Rodgers is sacked, Dyche, Solskjaer and Benitez included | The Sun

MAURICIO POCHETTINO is favourite to be appointed Leicester City's next manager.

That's according to bookmakers Betfair, who've created a 'next manager' market after claims Brendan Rodgers will leave his position.

Pressure is mounting on the Northern Irishman after another defeat over the weekend.

The Foxes succumbed to a second successive loss on Saturday when falling 2-1 to previously winless Southampton at the King Power Stadium.

Leicester conjured up just a single effort on target, and that was James Maddison's fantastic 54th-minute free-kick.

The result follows a 2-2 draw with Brentford and a 4-2 defeat against Arsenal to leave the club in 18th position.

Rodgers and supporters are clearly becoming increasingly frustrated with the club's lack of transfer activity.

Only Alex Smithies, a third-choice goalkeeper, has joined the club while there's talk of Wesley Fofana, James Maddison and Youri Tielemans leaving.

The 49-year-old has three years remaining on his contract, which expires in June 2025.

But he's now ODDS-ON favourite to be the first Premier League manager of the 2022-23 campaign to leave his post.

Pochettino is the early frontrunner at 3/1.

The former Southampton and Tottenham boss is a free agent having been axed by Paris Saint-Germain in June — just weeks after regaining the French title.

Another free agent in Sean Dyche follows next at 5/1.

Dyche managed 425 games with Burnley between 2012 and 2022, and could help solve the club's defensive frailties on a reduced budget.

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer and Rafa Benitez are the only other names on the market, priced at 8/1 and 20/1 respectively.
