Leicester City Appoints Steve Cooper As New Manager

Premier League side, Leicester City have appointed Steve Cooper as its new head coach on a three-year contract.

Cooper, 44, has been out of work since leaving Forest in December 2023.

The Foxes have been searching for a new manager since Enzo Maresca departed for Chelsea at the start of June.

Maresca joined Leicester at the start of last season, guiding the club to first place in the Championship and an immediate return to the Premier League after their relegation in 2022-23.

“I am excited and proud to be appointed Leicester City’s first-team manager,” said Cooper.

“This is a fantastic club with a rich history and passionate supporters. I am excited to work with such a talented squad and look forward to the challenge of achieving our shared ambitions in the Premier League.”
