Steve Cooper in advanced talks to become Leicester boss
The Foxes have been without a manager since Enzo Maresca’s departure to Chelsea.
Former Nottingham Forest boss Steve Cooper is in advanced talks to take over at Leicester.
Cooper has been out of work since leaving Forest in December, but is in the frame to succeed Enzo Maresca at the King Power Stadium, the PA news agency understands.
Maresca left the Foxes after delivering promotion to the Premier League to take over at Chelsea following Mauricio Pochettino’s departure from the London club at the end of the season.
The Leicester job will not be without its challenges as they have a possible points deduction hanging over their head and may also need to sell players during the summer to comply with the Premier League’s profit and sustainability rules.
Former Chelsea and Brighton boss Graham Potter and West Brom’s Carlos Corberan are also understood to have been considered for the role.
