Former Leicester City Assistant Michael Appleton Linked to Return to Management

Former Leicester City assistant Michael Appleton has been linked with the vacant managerial position at Notts County.

Appleton, who has managed clubs such as West Bromwich Albion and Portsmouth in the past, has been without a job since Foxes boss Claude Puel restructured his coaching staff in June. But the Englishman looks to be in the frame to take the hot seat at Meadow Lane following the club's sacking of Harry Kewell after just ten weeks in the job.

According to Leicestershire Live, Appleton is in line to take over at Notts County, who sit in the precarious position of 22nd in League Two, with just 14 points from 17 games.
