According to the report, the 2016 champions have met with several candidates in the past few days and are eyeing different models. In a successful game against direct rivals AFC Bournemouth (18th vs. 19th; to the table) on Saturday, interim duo Mike Stowell and Adam Sadler could not be ruled out, but a new coach is in principle being considered. Adi Hütter was last named as a candidate, and according to “Athletic” Rafael Benítez and Sam Allardyce are options – but only temporarily until the end of the season. Graham Potter, who was sacked at Chelsea, is said to have withdrawn.

Marsch, on the other hand, would retain the long-term confidence that he would be trusted to lead the reconstruction. A possible relegation of Leicester would not change that, the American had already declared his willingness to go to the championship with the club. The gap to the saving bank is currently two points.
