Sven-Goran Eriksson returned to English football on Friday by signing a two-year contract with Leicester City.
The former England boss replaces Paulo Sousa, who was dismissed by the Championship club on Friday morning after just nine games in charge.
It's believed that Eriksson was approached following the 6-1 defeat at Portsmouth on September 24. He will become Leicester's 15th manager since 2004.
The 62-year-old was due to take up a post with Saudi Arabian side Al Hilal, but has now turned that down.
It's believed that Eriksson's international reputation helped sway Leicester's owners, a consortium led by Thai businessman Aiyawatt Raksriaksorn, whose father Vichai owns Thailand-based duty-free shopping business King Power Group.
