Leicester are in the process of appointing a new manager and are hopeful of making an announcement next week. The club has narrowed down its shortlist to three candidates: Graham Potter, Carlos Corberan, and Steve Cooper. Despite turning down several roles since his departure from Chelsea, Potter, the former Chelsea and Brighton boss, remains a key target for Leicester.
The Foxes are facing a challenging period with their recent promotion back to the Premier League, the loss of head coach Enzo Maresca to Chelsea, potential points deductions for breaking spending rules, and the need to sell players to comply with regulations. However, Leicester believes Potter could be enticed by the opportunity to implement his vision at the club, leveraging their top-notch facilities to excel in his training ground expertise.
Another candidate, Carlos Corberan, led West Bromwich Albion to the playoffs last season and is under contract for three more years. Meanwhile, Steve Cooper, who left Nottingham Forest last December, is also in the running and is Wales’ top choice should they decide to part ways with Rob Page. Leicester aims to make their decision and appoint their new manager within the next week.

Leicester are hopeful of luring Graham Potter back into management.
Leicester is optimistic about their prospects of securing the services of a former Premier League manager. The club has its sights set on Graham Potter, the ex-boss of Chelsea and Brighton, who is highly regarded by the Foxes. Despite turning down multiple offers since his departure from Chelsea, Leicester remains confident in their ability to entice him back into management.
Leicester faces a challenging road ahead following their promotion to the Premier League. They recently lost head coach Enzo Maresca to Chelsea and may face a points deduction for violating spending rules. Additionally, they might be forced to sell players to comply with profitability and sustainability regulations. Nonetheless, Leicester believes that Potter will be drawn to the opportunity to make his mark on the club, similar to what he achieved at Brighton. The club boasts some of the finest facilities in Europe, which aligns with Potter’s strength in training ground management.
Another candidate on Leicester’s radar is Carlos Corberan, who guided West Bromwich Albion to the playoffs last season. Corberan remains under contract at The Hawthorns for three more years. Meanwhile, Steve Cooper, who departed Nottingham Forest in December, is also a contender. Cooper is currently the top choice for Wales should they decide to part ways with their current manager, Rob Page. Leicester aims to finalize their decision and appoint their new manager by next week.
