Steve Cooper, August 25, 2023

LEICESTER have appointed Steve Cooper as their new manager on a three-year deal.

Cooper, 44, had been out of work since leaving Nottingham Forest in December but has succeeded Enzo Maresca at Filbert Way on a contract that runs until 2027.

Maresca left the Foxes after delivering promotion to the Premier League to take over at Chelsea following Mauricio Pochettino’s departure at the end of the season.
