Former Leicester City midfielder Neil Lennon has reportedly been lined up to take over the Foxes as caretaker boss.

The Foxes are in search of a new manager after parting company with Claude Puel on Sunday.

City are without a win in their last seven matches, and Saturday’s 4-1 defeat to Crystal Palace was their fourth consecutive loss at home, the first time that has happened in 19 years.

Plenty of names have been linked with the job at the King Power Stadium, one being former Liverpool and current Celtic boss Brendan Rodgers.

Reports in the Scottish Sun claim that Leicester will attempt to get Rodgers as their new manager, but not until the summer.

The report adds that Lennon, who is currently out of work after leaving Hibernian at the end of last month, could be offered the role as caretaker manager until the end of the season.

Lennon scored nine goals in 210 appearances for City between 1996-2000, and has had spells in charge of Celtic and Bolton Wanderers, as well as Hibs, in his managerial career.
