Former manager Martin O'Neill is reportedly in line to return to Leicester City as a replacement for Sven-Goran Eriksson.

Eriksson has led his side to just two wins in their first six league games of the season and there are concerns within the club that he is not the man for the job, according to The Mirror.

With the recent takeover at the King Power Stadium, the club's Thai investors are understood to be expecting immediate promotion to the Premier League.

Unless the former England boss is able to turn things around, it is believed that the board will target O'Neill as his replacement.

The Northern Irishman spent five years as Foxes boss from 1995 to 2000, during which he won promotion with the Midlands outfit as well as the League Cup.
