Leicester are targeting the 'next Brendan Rodgers' to lead the Foxes if they cannot maintain their Premier League status for next season.
Dean Smith was brought in last month to manage Leicester until the end of the season, after Rodgers was jettisoned from the hotseat due to the fear of relegation.
Smith has just four games to secure top-flight football for next season, with the club currently in 16th place, only ahead of Leeds United and Nottingham Forest on goal difference.
If the Foxes are relegated, they will look to someone with Championship experience, and The Sun report that they will look to acquire Russell Martin from Swansea City.
