    Leicester City are a League One side in desperate need of stability after suffering back-to-back relegations.

    Manager Gary Rowett has come to the end of his short-term contract as boss, but has indicated that he is open to staying on to attempt to rebuild the former Premier League champions in the third tier.

    But whenever he has spoken about his future, he has also admitted that the club might desire a "fresh start" in League One.

    There have been plenty of names linked with the job. Former Peterborough boss Darren Ferguson, who oversaw three League One promotions as manager of the Cambridgeshire club, is seen as a potential candidate.

    Dutch manager Dick Schreuder, who is in charge of Eredivisie side NEC Nijmegen, as well as Premier League-winning former Fox Christian Fuchs, who has kept Newport in League Two this season, have been linked with the gig at the King Power Stadium.

    But who do Leicester fans want? Stick with Rowett, who will have a running start after being in the job for a few months already, or go in a new direction?

    Gary Rowett backed Leicester to bounce back from their turbulent season

    Leicester manager Gary Rowett told BBC Radio Leicester: "It was really important in the last two games to ensure we stayed professional and did the job for the fans, if nothing else. They came in great numbers again, were outstanding for us, stayed behind the team and at least showed their appreciation.

    "The club will rise again and we'll come back stronger with that togetherness.

    "In the first half we were really good on the ball, got in some excellent areas, created some good chances. A couple of times they transitioned on us and we got away with it with good defending - Jannik [Vestergaard] was excellent.

    "The second half was different. They injected a little bit more of a higher press and higher energy into the game but we managed it well, and it was nice to score at the end.

    "The number of games where we have played well and not got anything out of the game has been frustrating, but this was one where in the second half we didn't play as well but get a winner through Stephy."
