Chelsea will compensate Leicester with £10 million for Maresca, who successfully led the Foxes back to the Premier League by winning the Championship this season.

Despite potential challenges, including a possible points deduction because of alleged breaches of Premier League Profitability and Sustainability Rules, the Leicester job is expected to attract significant interest.

Several candidates have been linked with the position, including former Nottingham Forest manager Steve Cooper, former Chelsea coach Graham Potter and Carlos Coberan of West Brom.

Van Nistelrooy, who has been unemployed since leaving PSV last year because of a “lack of support” from the club’s leadership, is another name under consideration.
