Managerial Marathon at Leicester City

The prolonged wait for Leicester City's new manager continues to be a hot topic among fans and pundits alike. Discussions around the potential appointment of Marti Cifuentes, the former Queens Park Rangers head coach, are heating up as the Foxes' pre-season looms.

The Anticipation Builds

During a candid conversation on the 'When You're Smiling' podcast, ex-Leicester City striker Steve Howard expressed his thoughts on the ongoing delay in securing a new manager. According to Howard, the club had initially set their sights on a different target, which unfortunately didn’t materialize. This hiccup led them to consider other options, with Cifuentes now emerging as a strong contender for the role.

Why Marti Cifuentes?

Cifuentes, known for his tactical acumen at QPR, has garnered admiration from many within the football community, including Howard. The hope is that Cifuentes can bring fresh ideas and much-needed stability to the team. With the pre-season training camp in Austria on the horizon, the consensus is that having the managerial role settled would provide much-needed clarity and direction.

Final Thoughts

As the Foxes gear up for another challenging season, the resolution of this managerial saga will be crucial. The fans, the players, and the club deserve a swift conclusion so that the focus can shift fully to the preparations for what could be a monumental season. After all, we all remember the glory of the 2015-2016 season, and with the right leadership, who's to say a repeat isn't on the cards?
