"Leicester have had a dismal return to the Championship so far, as they sit 16th in the table after 18 matches played. The Foxes, who are marking the 10th anniversary of their historic Premier League title win, are only five points off the play-offs, but right now, that feels like a long way away. Marti Cifuentes was tasked to lead Leicester back to the Premier League following their relegation last season, but so far, he has fallen way short of expectations."
"As per talkSPORT (via Foxes of Leicester), Carrick is the favourite to take over as Leicester manager in the case of Cifuentes being relieved of his duties. The former Middlesbrough head coach, who was recently linked with the Wolves job prior to Rob Edwards being appointed, is out of work, so he would be ready to start as soon as possible, which would be an attractive prospect for the club's hierarchy."
Leicester sit 16th in the Championship after 18 matches and are five points off the play-offs during the club's 10th anniversary of their Premier League title. Marti Cifuentes was appointed to lead an immediate return to the top flight after relegation but has underperformed and faces dismissal, which would make him the third manager sacked at the King Power Stadium in just over a year. The club has begun a managerial search and have identified Michael Carrick as the preferred candidate. Carrick, recently sacked by Middlesbrough, won 46% of his matches there, remains out of work, and would be available immediately.
