Leicester City FC news: Roberto Mancini reveals he 'never had any' contact over becoming Foxes manager

Roberto Mancini has admitted he is a fan of Leicester City - but he did not have any talks with them about becoming the club's new manager.

The Italian, who led Manchester City to the Premier League title in 2012, is currently out of work after leaving Inter Milan in August 2016.

Following Leicester's decision to axe Claudio Ranieri in February, Mancini was linked with taking over at the King Power.

The 52-year-old spent part of his playing career with the Foxes and it was reported he was keen on a return to England.
