Leicester manager search: Roy Hodgson approached for the role

Former England manager, Roy Hodgson, has been reportedly approached by Leicester City to fill the vacant managerial role at the club.

Claudio Ranieri, who guided Leicester to the Premier League title last season, was sacked last week after a poor run of results. Since then, caretaker manager, Craig Shakespeare, has been taking charge of the club in an interim role.

According to reports from The Times, Hodgson was one of the managers who were approached by Leicester. The other managers being considered for this role were Guus Hiddink and Roberto Mancini.
