Leicester to make their move for boss Clark

Leicester are planning an official approach this week to speak to Huddersfield boss Lee Clark.

The Championship side, who are seeking a successor to the sacked Sven Goran Eriksson, held off making contact with the second-placed League One Terriers until after their weekend win at Yeovil.

But Clark, who may form of a touchline double act with Kevin Keegan, his former manager at Newcastle, at the Foxes, has again hinted he could be tempted.

"I can't speak about whether there is anything in these stories because I've had no contact," said the 39-year-old. "But if I did, the first person I would pick up the phone to, within seconds, would be chairman Dean Hoyle to explain the situation.

"I know I am a lucky man as manager to have a man like Dean backing me and that might not be so easy to walk away from.

"He has become a good friend as well as my boss, and I've got too much respect for him not to do it that way but there are many factors before we even reach that stage."

Former Derby and Nottingham Forest manager Billy Davies and ex-Southampton, Wolves and Cardiff gaffer Dave Jones are also interested in the Leicester job and have sent in their CVs.
