Glenn Roeder is being lined up to replace Ian Holloway as boss of Leicester City - despite yesterday's 4-0 win for the Foxes over the Canaries.
Holloway was thrilled to see his side return to form after a disappointing run since moving from Plymouth in mid-November.
Before yesterday's visit of Norwich, he had won just four of his 18 matches and owner Milan Mandaric is not a happy man.
Roeder has done well at Norwich since taking over at the end of October. They were rock-bottom of the Championship but Roeder has steered them to within touching distance of the play-offs.
Mandaric wanted Roeder as director of football, but the ex-Newcastle boss preferred management and chose Norwich.
Another factor in Roeder's favour is former West Ham chief executive Paul Aldridge is now at Leicester and the two men worked well together at Upton Park.
Roeder is also a contender for the Coventry job, following the departure of Iain Dowie. Owner Ray Ranson and Roeder played together at Newcastle.
Dowie is lined up for a return to his old club Southampton after Stoke boss Tony Pulis ruled out replacing George Burley who left for Scotland.
