The Italian, who until last year was Pep Guardiola’s assistant at English champions Manchester City, has overseen an immediate return to the Premier League for the Foxes following their relegation 12 months ago.
His style of football is also said to have impressed Chelsea chiefs, with Sky Sports reporting on Monday the Blues had asked Leicester for permission to speak directly to Maresca, whom they added was the London club’s preferred choice.
