Who could replace Ranieri? Mancini, Wagner, Hodgson, De Boer, Pearson?

Gab Marcotti, Alejandro Moreno and Steve Nicol share their differing points of view on Claudio Ranieri's sacking.

Leicester have parted company with boss Claudio Ranieri following their 2-1 Champions League defeat at Sevilla on Wednesday -- just nine months after he won a shock Premier League title.

Ranieri leaves with the champions just a point above the relegation zone and, here, we look at the possible contenders to replace him at the King Power Stadium.

ROBERTO MANCINI (unattached)

Mancini has the pedigree to succeed at Leicester.

The former Manchester City manager is available after leaving Inter Milan last year. He spent a brief time on loan at the Foxes in 2001, playing five times before leaving to become Fiorentina manager after just a month at their old Filbert Street ground. Former striker Mancini has Premier League pedigree having won the title with Manchester City in dramatic fashion back in 2012, but there would be doubts over his suitability for Leicester's relegation scrap
