Enzo Maresca guided Leicester City to a Championship title last season but has chosen to take his chances at the revolving door that is the Chelsea hotseat rather than trying to cement Premier League status for the Foxes.
Leicester played some outstanding football last season but fans will surely be more concerned with making sure they remain in the top flight next June.
We’ve asked our trusted PP traders to look into the next Leicester manager odds for who could replace him. Here are the latest runners and riders.
Graham Potter
Graham Potter has been linked all over the shop this summer. A return to Brighton looked to be on the cards but he turned his nose up at it, then Chelsea came a-knocking and we can only presume he laughed his britches off at the thought, and there’s the constant England link too.
Leicester’s squad has plenty of similarities with the Brighton side he previously managed and it would seem like the perfect fit for all involved.
Steve Cooper
Former Swansea City and Nottingham Forest head honcho Steve Cooper is also in the mix. He guided Swansea to the Play Off Final in his second season with the Swans, losing to Brentford. That summer he was appointed at Forest and they finished two spots above the relegation zone.
The following season however, he was relieved of his duties following a run of just one win in 13 matches. We’d love to write something positive about his style of football, we really would but Swansea and Forest fans would be having words with us.
Davide Ancelotti
No, we haven’t spelled that incorrectly, it’s Big Carlo’s son Davide. Don’t scoff so quickly. Ancelotti Junior’s been assistant manager to his father at Bayern Munich, Napoli, Everton and Real Madrid, winning a shedload of trophies in Germany and in Spain.
He’s come in for plenty of praise, especially at Real Madrid where he takes control of the training sessions. The apple doesn’t fall too far from the tree, maybe the time is ripe for him step out on his own.
David Moyes
Former Manchester United, Everton and West Ham manager David Moyes could make a quick return to management after leaving West Ham at the conclusion of the previous season.
A safe pair of hands for sure but you can’t help the feeling that he’d be more likely to be parachuted in should it all go clogs up for someone else first. Do Leicester fan want him? No. Would he ensure their Premier League survival? Absolutely.
