Former Leicester City manager Claudio Ranieri to take over at Palermo?

Palermo want to make Leicester City legend Claudio Ranieri their new manager.

The Italian was sacked by the Foxes in February, just nine months after he miraculously guided them to the Premier League title.

The 65-year-old is now on the hunt for a new job and he has already turned down an approach from German side Wolfsburg.

And now, according to reports in Italy, Palermo have registered an interest in making FIFA Coach of the Year Ranieri their new manager

The Italian side recently appointed Paul Baccaglini as their new president ahead of his fund's takeover.

And Baccaglini, who hopes to have full control of the club by the end of April, reportedly wants to revamp Palermo by axing current boss Diego Lopez and handing over to reigns to Ranieri.
