As we sink back into the rhythm of Premier League football post-international break, Marti Cifuentes seems to have made quite the impression at the King Power Stadium. Leicester City, sitting comfortably at third in the table with 16 points and just a single loss after nine games, is showing that they're not just in the league for the ride; theyre gunning for glory!
It's evident that Leicester made a wise choice with Cifuentes. We only need to look at the alternatives to see how bullet-dodged this situation is.
Russell Martin, whom we avoided in favour of Cifuentes, had a dismal spell at Rangers - merely five wins and a one-time league victory across 17 matches, leading to his swift exit. Hes now etched in history as the shortest-serving permanent manager in Ranger's history.
Then, theres Graham Potter, once eyed by our club, found himself struggling at West Ham with only six wins in 25 matches and was shown the door while the team lingered in the relegation zone.
Danny Rohl, a fan favourite for the Leicester job, remains unattached and while his name is being tossed around for other gigs, its clear that the rush for his services isnt quite a stampede.
Not to forget, Sean Dyche and Gary O'Neill are also still on the market, underscoring perhaps why the grass isn't always greener.
Chris Wilder gets a mention too, a man more acquainted with the managerial revolving door than most - akin to the frequent baffling calls of VAR!
On a sombre note, the Foxes family recently bid farewell to Milan Mandaric. It was Mandaric's vision and commitment that saved our club and sowed the seeds for the dream that culminated in our 2015-16 Premier League miracle. His legacy at Leicester City will forever be cherished and his impact, forever influential.
With Cifuentes at the helm, Leicesters ship seems steady. As we look forward to the rest of the season, it's clear that with the right guidance, tactics and a sprinkle of that Leicester spirit, more victories and perhaps another shocking tilt at the title might just be on the cards.
Now, to end on a lighter note: How many Manchester United fans does it take to screw in a light bulb? None, they're all too busy living in the past to notice the bulb's gone out! Here's to hoping our future's as bright as their past used to be!
