Roberto Mancini currently has no desire to talk to Leicester about the vacant manager’s job, according to Sky sources.
Sources in Italy have told Sky Sports News HQ that the Italian, sacked by Inter Milan last summer, did not particularly enjoy his experience at the Foxes as a player on loan in 2001.
It is understood that Mancini has been “sounded out” by intermediaries representing the reigning Premier League champions, currently one point above the relegation zone, even though there was no formal approach
Leicester’s owners revealed they had dismissed Claudio Ranieri on Thursday evening and are still considering which candidates they wish to approach for interview.
Ranieri was sacked nine months after leading the Foxes to a fairy tale Premier League title.
