Brentford manager Thomas Frank is reported to be Leicester’s No. 1 choice if they decide to fire boss Brendan Rodgers.
The Northern Irishman is under heavy pressure after six consecutive defeats, including a 6-2 defeat to Tottenham on Saturday, which have left the Foxes at the bottom of the Premier League after their worst start to the season since 1983.
And The sun claim the highly regarded Dane Frank will be at the top of their list of potential replacements if Rodgers gets the axe.
Thomas Frank is reportedly Leicester’s top pick if they decide to fire boss Brendan Rodgers
The club are weighing whether to hold or spin as it will cost more than £10million to sack him and they must abide by Financial Fair Play rules.
Only Manchester City’s Pep Guardiola, Liverpool’s Jurgen Klopp and Tottenham’s Antonio Conte earn more than Rodgers’ £10m a year salary on a lucrative contract that runs until 2025 and has him as the highest paid manager in club history.
But given the club’s financial difficulties, with just £15million spent on defender Wout Faes this summer and a reported £120million annual loss to be announced, there are doubts the Midlands side can afford a costly severance package.
Rodgers said after Spurs’ resounding defeat: “I know how football works and I completely understand the frustration of the supporters. I can’t hide from that, because it’s my responsibility.
“Losing the last six games is not good reading, but whatever happens to me here at Leicester, I will always respect this club.”
Chairman Aiyawatt Srivaddhanaprabha and football director Jon Rudkin are said to discuss keeping or removing Rodgers during the international match.
If he does leave, Bees boss Frank is considered first choice – although he signed a new three-year contract in January that expires in 2025 and it’s not thought he’s keen to leave the west side of London.
