Claudio Ranieri wants to make a quick return to management in the Premier League, his agent Steve Kutner has told talkSPORT.
The Italian was sacked by Leicester City last week, just nine months after leading them to a remarkable title success.
Ranieri, who was named as the Coach of the Year at the FIFA Football Awards in January, has already had job offers from Chinese Super League and Serie A clubs.
But Kutner says the 65-year-old is determined to remain in English football.
“There already has been big interest in Claudio, both in Italy and in China,” Kutner told talkSPORT’s Jim White.
