re Martin Allen and Leicester
BBC -Mandaric to hold talks with Allen
Leicester have been given permission to speak to MK Dons boss Martin Allen about their vacant managerial post.
BBC Five Live reports that Allen is favourite for the job ahead of Neil Warnock and Nigel Worthington.
A club statement said: "Leicester have been given permission by MK Dons to speak to Martin Allen with regards to the vacant managerial position.
"Chairman Milan Mandaric will hold talks with Allen later this week as part of the recruitment process."
Allen, 41, guided MK Dons to the League Two play-offs, where they lost in the semi-final to Shrewsbury.
He has only spent one season at MK Dons but had already built a reputation as one of the game's brightest young managers when he was at Brentford.
606: DEBATE
Who should Mandaric go for?
The news will come as a disappointment to Warnock, who would have been hoping to make a swift return to football after his departure from Bramall Lane.
Mandaric recently told the Leicester Mercury: "Neil Warnock is a good and experienced manager and may be under consideration.
"But he is only one of several on the list I will be considering. As it is such an important decision, I will not be rushed.
"I have had no dialogue with him or anyone else."
Worthington took over as caretaker manager of the Foxes in April after the departure of Rob Kelly.
He helped steer the club away from relegation and was also on the shortlist - but also looks to have lost out to Allen. BBC

BBC -Allen tipped to net Leicester job
MK Dons boss Martin Allen is set to get the nod ahead of Neil Warnock to take over as Leicester City's new manager.
Leicester chairman Milan Mandaric revealed Warnock, who left Sheffield United after they were relegated, was on a four-man shortlist.
But BBC Radio Five Live reports that Allen has now been approached to take over at the Walkers Stadium.
Allen, 41, guided MK Dons to the League Two play-offs, where they lost in the semi-final to Shrewsbury.
He is set to agree a three-year deal with Mandaric and may take coaches Dave Hockaday and Adrian Whitbread with him from MK Dons to Leicester.
Allen has only spent one season at MK Dons but had already built a reputation as one of the game's brightest young managers when he was at Brentford.
The news will come as a disappointment to Warnock, who would have been hoping to make a swift return after his departure from Bramall Lane.
Mandaric recently told the Leicester Mercury: "Neil Warnock is a good and experienced manager and may be under consideration.
"But he is only one of several on the list I will be considering. As it is such an important decision, I will not be rushed.
