Former Manchester City boss Roberto Mancini is keen on the Leicester City job.
Mancini had a brief spell at Leicester during his playing days, says the Daily Star.
Claudio Ranieri has been sacked by Leicester after their dismal form this season.
He led the 5000/1 outsiders to the Premier League title last term but Leicester's owners have ruthlessly dismissed the Italian.
And the ex-Chelsea boss could now be replaced by his countryman.
Mancini led Manchester City to the title in 2012 but left a year later after defeat to Wigan in the FA Cup final and the failure to defend their crown.
