Leicester have begun sounding out potential replacements for Steve Cooper with the club still hopeful they will have his successor in charge for Saturday’s match at Brentford.
The Foxes are expected to make progress in their search on Tuesday, with the players due to resume training after 48 hours off.
Coach Ben Dawson was due to lead the session as director of football Jon Rudkin attempts to appoint a permanent boss.
David Moyes is thought to be among the names Leicester were keen to sound out, although it is unclear whether the former Everton and West Ham boss would want the job, given he would surely be a contender to return to Goodison Park if Sean Dyche fails to improve results.
Mail Sport understands Leicester put out feelers to Graham Potter on Sunday night though yet again, Potter is thought to have been unconvinced.
Potter was approached by Leicester after they sacked Brendan Rodgers 18 months ago, and after Enzo Maresca left for Chelsea at the end of last season.

David Moyes left West Ham in May after declining to enter negotiations over a new contract
Graham Potter has not managed a club since April 2023, when he was sacked by Chelsea
Ruud van Nistelrooy has been a manager since 2021 and has permanently managed two clubs
Potter was reluctant to commit himself on both occasions and the signs are that he may swerve it a third time.
That would leave former Manchester United striker Ruud van Nistelrooy, who put himself forward for the job last summer. Van Nistelrooy impressed during his brief period in charge of United, between the sacking of Erik ten Hag and the appointment of Ruben Amorim.
But it would be a gamble to appoint a coach who has such little Premier League experience.
