    Ranieri's sacking by Leicester

    Former Leicester defender Gary Rowett, who is among the favourites to replace Claudio Ranieri, says he has heard "nothing" from his old club.

    "I’m sat waiting at home for the right opportunity to come along," Rowett, who was surprisingly sacked by Birmingham in December, told BBC 5 live's Friday Night Social.

    "Of course Leicester would be an amazing opportunity but Ranieri’s sacking is still raw for everybody in football.

    "I played there for two years, playing a season in the Premier League and in the Uefa Cup that season, so I’ve had good experiences at Leicester.

    "It’s an excellent club and it would be quite daunting for any manager going in because of what they have achieved. Nevertheless it would be a fantastic opportunity for somebody."

    The Leicester players don't have the luxury of feeling guilty. They need to get themselves out of the predicament they are in by playing well against Liverpool on Monday night. 

    They also need to win the fans over again. That's going to be interesting.

    Young managers now have to accept that being sacked is simply part of the learning curve in their careers, says former Birmingham manager Gary Rowett.

    Rowett himself was surprisingly sacked by Championship side Birmingham in December, being replaced by Gianfranco Zola.

    "After I was sacked by Birmingham I remember speaking to a couple of experienced managers and they said as a young manager you almost have to accept that part of the process is being sacked," said the 41-year-old.

    "It is not necessarily classed as failure nowadays, whereas as before it was a stigma on your CV.

    "Tony Pulis rang me up the next morning, he laughed and said ‘unless you’ve been sacked three times then you’re not a proper manager!’ That’s the reality of football and the industry we’re in."
