After a protracted managerial search, Leicester has finally named former Nottingham Forest manager Steve Cooper to succeed Enzo Maresca at the King Power Stadium. Steve Cooper has been appointed Leciester’s new manager on a three-year deal.
The Welshman has been out of work since leaving the Foxes’ East Midlands rivals Nottingham Forest last December but will spearhead the newly-promoted club’s Premier League campaign.Leicester had previously tried to tempt Potter to the King Power Stadium last April before their relegation from the Premier League, but he was not ready to return to management just days after being sacked by Chelsea having spent less than seven months in charge.
The Foxes won the Championship last season and will face Tottenham in their opening match of next season after the release of the Premier League fixtures.
