Former England manager Roy Hodgson has held secret talks about the Leicester City job.
It is understood that Hodgson, architect of England's dismal Euro 2016 campaign, met representatives of the Premier League champions in south-west London last Friday.
Hodgson is strongly fancied for the job as Claudio Ranieri's successor in the long term by Leicester owner Vichai Srivaddhanaprabha. The club's Thai owner believes he needs somebody with experience to take Leicester forwards after this season's disastrous title defence.
Hodgson, 70 in August, is keen to return to management but is not yet completely sold on the Leicester idea.
