Enzo Maresca has been approached over a shock return to Leicester City, just a month on from his surprise sacking by Chelsea.
The Italian only left Leicester last summer after winning the Championship title, but he is now being sounded out about an immediate comeback as the Foxes battle through a difficult spell in the second tier.
Maresca’s name has been raised as Leicester look at options to change their season’s direction, with the club weighing up possible moves behind the scenes. The approach comes despite his short time away and the fact he only recently took on the Chelsea job.
Chelsea’s decision to dismiss Maresca after only a brief period in charge has already drawn attention, and the latest development adds another twist to a fast-moving coaching situation for the 44-year-old.
Leicester’s interest would represent a dramatic turn given how recently Maresca delivered promotion success at the King Power Stadium, and it underlines the uncertainty around the club as they try to get back on track in the Championship.
For now, no final decision has been confirmed, but Maresca has been contacted as Leicester consider whether turning back to a familiar face could provide the lift they need.
