Almeyda in the Mex for Foxes

- BY NEIL McLEMAN

MATIAS ALMEYDA has emerged as a shock contender for the Leicester job.

The former Argentina midfielder, who played against England at the 1998 World Cup, is now the boss of Mexican side Guadalajar­a. He previously coached River Plate and Banfield back in his homeland.

Almeyda, 43, played for Sevilla before seven seasons in Serie A with Lazio, Parma, Inter Milan and Brescia.

Michael Appleton won his first game as the Foxes’ caretaker boss against Swansea on Saturday.
