Who Will Be The Next Leicester City Manager?
Recently sacked Leicester City manager Steve Cooper only joined the Foxes in June 2024, having previously been at Nottingham Forest – however, after just an average start to the football season he was always going to have one eye over his shoulder.
Therefore, the SportsCasting traders and best football betting sites in the UK are constantly updating their next Leicester City manager odds market, with a whole host of familiar names in the running – especially now that Cooper has been shown the door at the Foxes.
Could David Moyes Be The Next Leicester City Manager?
Since leaving West Ham at the end of the 2023-24 season, David Moyes has been linked with a number of clubs – with the most recent being Leicester City.
The Scot guided the Hammers to European glory when at the helm of the London club in 2023 but after a tough following campaign left West Ham.
So the fact David Moyes is a free agent – plus the fact he has bags of Premier League experience (don’t forget he was also at Everton and Man Utd) would make him an attractive proposition for any English top-flight side that find themselves managerless in the coming months.
Other Next Leicester City Manager Possibilites
Slightly older football fans will remember Mark Robins banging the goals in for Manchester United and Norwich back in the late 80’s and 90’s. But he also played over 55 times for Leicester City between 1995-98.
Therefore, with clubs often favouring a previous link back to the club, the best betting sites in the UK are also taking no chances on Mark Robins being the next Leicester City manager.
Robins was recently at Coventry (second spell), where he was in charge of 387 games and winning 154. Coventry and Robins, however, parted ways in early November despite being the longest serving Championship manager at the time.
Ruud van Nistelrooy and Graham Potter Others Linked To Leicester City
Other names being linked to the next Leicester City manager – according to the odds – are former Manchester United assistant Ruud van Nistelrooy and Graham Potter.
Van Nistelrooy caught the eye of many during his stand-in role at United after Erik ten Hag was sacked earlier this season and you feel it won’t be long before the Dutchman is getting a main manager’s role.
While another name that is linked with all the big vacant manager jobs at the moment is Graham Potter.
The former Chelsea boss hasn’t worked since leaving the Blues in April 2023, but many feel he’s ready to make a return to the dugout. Could Leicester City be the perfect fit for Potter?
Commentary: sportscasting.com/uk spokesman Andy Newton, reacted to our ‘Leicester City Manager Odds’ saying:
“Current Leicester City manager, Steve Cooper has been sacked after an average start to the season with the Foxes – and with the busy Xmas period ahead you feel City are looking to not enter the New Year in more trouble.
“With Cooper gone, then you feel Leicester will want a quick fix and also plenty of experience to give them a fighting chance or avoiding relegation. So, with that in mind, the David Moyes would certainly fit the bill.
