Roberto Mancini is now the 4/6 favourite for the vacant Leicester City post, after a flurry of bets overnight.

Following Claudio Ranieri's controversial sacking, punters have piled in this morning and backed the former Manchester City boss into odds-on favouritism from 7/4 last night.

Alan Pardew remains some way off Mancini at 7/1, while the bookies aren't ruling out a shock return to the King Power for Nigel Pearson (8/1).

Meanwhile, Ryan Gigg's odds have drifted overnight from 10/1 to 20/1, as have Harry Redknapp's from 12/1 to 16s.

Ladbrokes News' Alex Apati said: "Mancini is by far the most backed manager in the running for the Leicester job right now, and the fact he's already odds-on suggests our traders reckon it could be one Italian out and another one in at the King Power."
