Danny Rohl is a possible target for Leicester next season if Ruud Van Nistelrooy leaves the club in the event of relegation.
Sitting at 12 points with a security drift with eight games to play, the Foxes seem to be intended for an immediate return to the championship.
Van Nistelrooy signed an agreement until June 2027, when he replaced Steve Cooper last fall, but Leicester decreased under the Dutchman, losing 14 of his last 15 league games.
Asked about his future last month, Van Nistelrooy said: “I signed a contract for two more years after this one. I knew when I arrived what was the challenge and how difficult it could be. I had aware and I got involved in this future.
But if Leicester and Van Nistelrooy separate at the end of the campaign, Mail Sport understands that Rohl would be important in the thoughts of the Foxes.
The German did a good job in Sheffield on Wednesday, leading the club in security last season during its first senior role – despite a legacy of a team that seemed certain to put Ligue 1 immediately when he took over.

This quarter, the 35 -year -old has kept the owls away from the lower scope of the table, and they still have an external chance to reach the playoffs with seven games to play.
Rohl, who would have an important remuneration clause in his contract, is known for having impressed the recruitment chief of the Martyn Glover foxes when the two worked in Southampton.
Indeed, the impression that Rohl made by working for former boss Ralph Hasenhuttl at Saints in 2018-2019 means that he would also be a candidate for this role if Ivan Juric goes at the end of the campaign.
