#2. Scott Robertson 6/1
#1. Steve Borthwick 3/1
Having taken charge of the Tigers in 2020, Borthwick has overseen a huge turnaround at the club, transforming them from Premierships strugglers to pace-setters at the top of the table.
As such, his is a name very much linked to the England post.
The Leicester job is the first head coaching gig in his career, however, so the 42-year-old would be thrown in very green.
Steve Borthwick facts:
- Born in Carlisle, Cumbria, Borthwick was captain of the Hutton Grammar School rugby team
- He was appointed the England forwards coach in December 2015; a role which he left in mid 2020 to become head coach of Leicester Tigers
