Leicester City are set to announce their new manager within the next 24 hours.

The club have moved quickly since the sacking of Claude Puel.

It appears that Brendan Rodgers is the man set to get the job.

His club Celtic confirmed they have given Leicester permission to talk to Rodgers about moving immediately.

It is a stunning turn of events, given Celtic are in the midst of a title race in Scotland.

According to The Guardian, talks are at an advanced stage and the 46-year-old will be announced very soon.

Rodgers was the outstanding candidate for the job, with Rafa Benitez and David Moyes among other names mentioned.
