Leicester City is actively seeking a new manager, with the aim of having Steve Cooper’s successor in place ahead of their upcoming match against Brentford on Saturday.
The club is stepping up its efforts as the players are set to return to training after a 48-hour break.
During this time, coach Ben Dawson will oversee the session while director of football Jon Rudkin continues to work on finalizing the appointment of a permanent manager.
Potential Candidates and Considerations
David Moyes has reportedly been a candidate the Foxes have looked into, though it’s uncertain whether he would take the job.
Given his experience managing Everton and West Ham, Moyes could be in line for another shot at the Everton job, especially if Sean Dyche’s tenure at Goodison Park continues to struggle.
The club also reached out to Graham Potter over the weekend. However, it appears that Potter remains hesitant, despite previous approaches from Leicester.
The first came after the sacking of Brendan Rodgers 18 months ago, and again when Enzo Maresca left for Chelsea at the end of last season.
On both occasions, Potter was unwilling to commit, and signs suggest he may turn them down once more.
A Risky Option: Ruud van Nistelrooy?
If Potter declines, Leicester could look toward former Manchester United striker Ruud van Nistelrooy, who had expressed interest in the position last summer.
Van Nistelrooy showed promise during his short stint in charge of United, stepping in temporarily between Erik ten Hag’s departure and the appointment of Ruben Amorim.
However, appointing a manager with limited Premier League experience would be a bold gamble for the club as they search for stability and success.
What’s Next for Leicester?
As the clock ticks down to Saturday’s match, Leicester remains focused on finalizing their managerial search.
Whether they will secure a new manager in time or opt for an interim solution remains to be seen, but the club is determined to make a decision soon.
