Avram Grant linked with Leicester City job

Published on: 15 February 2017

Former Chelsea and Black Stars coach, Avram Grant has emerged the bookmakers third favourite to land the Leicester City job if current boss Claudio Ranieri is sacked.

Ranieri has failed to re-capture the miraculous form which saw EPL side Leicester win the league last season and is likely to be handed his marching orders by the owners if Leicester fall into the relegation zone.

Betting companies such has Paddy Power have began accepting bets for the next Leicester coach with former Crystal Palace boss Alan Pardew the top favourite at 5/1 and former Leicester boss Nigel Pearson second favourite at 6/1.

In third place at 8/1 is Grant who failed to win the AFCON with Ghana earlier this month.

The Israeli has always favoured a move back to England where he enjoys his punditry work with Sky Sports.

However, it must be noted that Grant was linked with every vacant job during his two-year stint with the Black Stars of Ghana but never landed any job.

Grant is said to be eager for a return to club football.
