Leicester City get their man! Steve Cooper appointed as Foxes' new manager ahead of Premier League return after Enzo Maresca's Chelsea move

Premier League

Leicester

<p>After their relegation to the Championship, Leicester City turned a page as they appointed former Manchester City assistant manager Enzo Maresca to lead the Foxes' charge as they aimed to return to the Premier League. The Foxes did indeed return to the top flight in fantastic fashion. However, in what seemed like a bombshell dropped on Leicester's leadership, <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-in/lists/chelsea-enzo-maresca-mauricio-pochettino-replacement-leicester-city-contract/blt6209d9b82bf2b244" target="_blank">Maresca</a> <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-in/lists/chelsea-enzo-maresca-mauricio-pochettino-replacement-leicester-city-contract/blt6209d9b82bf2b244" target="_blank">joined Chelsea at the start of this summer.</a></p>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>That search led them to Cooper and former Chelsea boss Graham Potter. However, the club <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-in/lists/graham-potter-premier-league-return-leicester-set-to-recruit-chelsea-flop-enzo-maresca/blt3fd4d138c9c2b107" target="_blank">could not find an agreement with Potter</a> and shifted their focus towards the former Nottingham Forest boss. They have now announced the signing of the 44-year-old as they look to begin planning for the upcoming season as soon as possible.</p><p></p><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">Leicester City Football Club can confirm the appointment of Steve Cooper as our new First Team Manager 🔵</p>— Leicester City (@LCFC) <a href="https://twitter.com/LCFC/status/1803714414652399759?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">June 20, 2024</a></blockquote>

I am excited to work with such a talented squad and I’m looking forward to the challenge of achieving our shared ambitions in the Premier League."</p>
