Premier League champions Leicester have held informal talks with former England boss Roy Hodgson about becoming their new manager.
However, it is thought that the 69-year-old was just one potential candidate spoken to in the search for Claudio Ranieri's replacement.
And acting boss Craig Shakespeare could stay in charge until the end of the season if results continue to improve.
Ranieri was sacked on 23 February, nine months after winning the title.
Meanwhile, Hodgson's former goalkeeping coach, Dean Kiely, says the public perception of the veteran manager is "totally wrong" and he should be a leading contender for the Leicester job.
Hodgson has been out of work since resigning as England coach after they lost to Iceland at Euro 2016.
Kiely, who worked under him at West Brom, said: "I can see why he's on anyone's shortlist."
Hodgson, who has been managing for more than 40 years, guided Fulham to the Europa League final in 2010 and had spells in charge of Liverpool and West Brom before he got the England job in 2012.
He took the Three Lions to the quarter-finals at Euro 2012, but two years later they were eliminated at the group stage of a World Cup for the first time since 1958.
Hodgson's team won all 10 matches in qualifying for Euro 2016 but he quit after a 2-1 defeat by Iceland in the last 16 left him with a record of three victories from 11 games in major tournaments.
