FORMER England boss Lee Carsley is in the running to replace Ruud van Nistelrooy at Leicester, according to reports.
The club’s relegation to the Championship was confirmed on Sunday, having picked up just 18 points all season.

Van Nistelrooy, who penned a two-and-a-half-year deal when he replaced the sacked Steve Cooper in November, has been unable to improve performances and results.
Sky Sports claim he is “likely” to leave Leicester at the end of the campaign and a list of possible replacements has been drawn up.
Carsley is one of the names in contention after his interim spell in charge of England.
The current Three Lions Under-21s boss managed the senior side for six Nations League games between the departure of Gareth Southgate and arrival of Thomas Tuchel.
Russell Martin is also a candidate for the Leicester job after he was axed by Southampton in December, just seven months after leading them to promotion to Premier League.
Sheffield Wednesday boss Danny Rohl is also on the Leicester shortlist.
The German has impressed in his two seasons at Hillsborough, guiding them to safety last term before a mid-table finish this campaign.
Van Nistelrooy is set to meet with King Power chiefs this week to discuss his future.

He reportedly does not want to quit without receiving compensation.
And the Foxes supposedly cannot sack him now as it could cause Profit and Sustainability problems in the current financial year.
