Mark Robins is one of the managers being considered for the now-vacant Leicester City job following Steve Cooper’s sacking. Despite former Brighton and Chelsea manager Graham Potter being the early favorite among bookies, Robins is fifth in line according to SkyBet odds, ahead of Lee Carsley and Jose Mourinho. David Moyes, Ruud van Nistelrooy, and Carlos Corberan are also ahead of Robins in the betting.
Coventry fans may be relieved that Frank Lampard is not currently in the running for the position, as reports suggest he could be taking over at the CBS Arena. Interim coach Rhys Carr is preparing the team for their upcoming match against Burnley, as he oversees his third game since Robins’ departure.
Robins, who spent three years at Leicester as a player in the 90s, has expressed his eagerness to return to management soon. While joining Leicester would be a significant jump for him, as he has no Premier League managerial experience, a move to an ambitious Championship club may be more feasible for the 54-year-old following his dismissal from Coventry.
Potter is the frontrunner for the Leicester job after the club’s decision to part ways with Cooper. The decision came after a 2-1 defeat to Chelsea at the King Power Stadium, leaving the Foxes in 16th place in the Premier League standings. Despite early successes under Cooper, Leicester struggled in their recent matches, prompting the change in leadership.
