Former Liverpool, Newcastle United and Everton manager Rafael Benitez is reportedly eyeing up the Leicester City job rather than a possible role at Nottingham Forest.

Although neither job is technically available at the moment, Benitez has been strongly linked with both clubs as they struggle at the wrong end of the Premier League table.

Benitez, a Champions League winner from his time in charge at Anfield, is now said to have applied for the Leicester job, piling even further pressure onto Brendan Rodgers.
