Leicester City have sacked Steeve Cooper following 2-1 loss to Chelsea, fellow Premier League opponents Leicester City fired

Last season, the Foxes won the Championship title under Enzo Maresca, who later left for Stamford Bridge, and were promoted alongside Town. He was replaced by Cooper, who found it difficult to connect with the supporters.

Leicester, who are now in 16th place but fear dropping into the relegation zone and down the league table, have decided to fire Steve Cooper before this weekend’s trip to Brentford. Though there are several contenders, it is unclear if they will have a new manager in place by then.

Right now, the favourite is Graham Potter. The Foxes reportedly attempted to hire the former Brighton and Chelsea manager during the summer, but he declined because he was afraid of a points deduction. He may try to fill the position now that that has been ruled out, especially after Thomas Tuchel filled the England post.

David Moyes, the former manager of West Ham, pursues him after he lost his job at the London Stadium at the end of the previous campaign. Both Ruud van Nistelrooy, who resigned as assistant manager of Manchester United, and Mark Robins, who was abruptly fired by Coventry City earlier this month, are seeking employment.

West Brom’s Carlos Corberan and former interim England boss Lee Carsley are also suggested, with Edin Terzic, Gareth Southgate, Jose Mourinho, Maurizio Sarri, and Michael as prospective replacements for Steve Cooper.

“As the team starts the process of selecting a new manager, which we intend to finish as quickly as possible, first-team coach Ben Dawson will oversee the men’s first-team training with assistance from coaches Danny Alcock and Andy Hughes.
