Predrag Radosavljevic is the shock favourite to land the vacant managerial post at Leicester City.
The Serbia-born American coach, who spent two years at Everton as a player in the 1990s, has hinted that he could be close to taking over from Nigel Pearson, who was sacked last month.
Better known as Preki, the 52-year old's exit has been confirmed by current club Sacramento Republic, whom he will finish up with this weekend.
Preki told sources close to him that he will step into a coaching role in the UK with the Foxes vacancy the most likely destination.
