Leicester City considers manager replacements following Van Nistelrooy's expected departure

Leicester City are expected to part ways with manager Ruud van Nistelrooy following a disastrous season that ended in relegation to the Championship. The club's hierarchy has drawn up a shortlist of potential replacements, with Lee Carsley, Danny Rohl, and Russell Martin emerging as leading candidates. Van Nistelrooy, who is set to meet with club chiefs this week, is reportedly reluctant to resign without compensation, but any immediate sacking could create financial issues related to Profit and Sustainability Rules (PSR). Carsley is currently England Under-21 coach and has interim senior national team experience, while Rohl and Martin are recognized for their achievements in the Championship. The club's poor performance, including a record stretch of home games without scoring, has drawn public apologies from veteran striker Jamie Vardy, who described the season as a 'total embarrassment.' Uncertainty remains over the timing of Van Nistelrooy's departure, but it is increasingly likely he will not lead the team into the next campaign.
