Warnock no to Foxes

Neil Warnock has stunned Milan Mandaric by snubbing the chance to make his managerial return with Leicester.

Mandaric will now turn his attention elsewhere with Peter Reid and Gary Megson the frontrunners while Coventry manager Iain Dowie has also been touted.

Warnock held talks with Mandaric this week before deciding not to take up the post, according to the Daily Express.

Mandaric parted company with Martin Allen after just three games this season and surprisingly following the Foxes' 4-1 win over Watford.

The Leicester supremo said at the time: "It's about getting where we want to be as fast as possible and doing whatever that takes. So if I find the next man is the wrong man then I will change him again."
