Leicester City have announced the sacking of Marti Cifuentes after just 7 months in charge, following a disappointing 1-2 defeat at home to struggling Oxford United.
With Leicester City looking to revive their championship campaign, sitting in 14th, 6 points behind Wrexham in that final play-off position, here are four managers who could bring their season alive again.
Although it may not have worked out for him at Southampton, Still is a bright young manager with plenty of time to develop his style of play. He likes possession-based football, which worked well during his time at Reims in Ligue 1, playing with a 4-3-2-1 formation bringing energy into the side. It could really help Leicester City out and push them up towards where they want to be.
Another developing manager, this is his first professional management job with Cardiff City, and he has guided them to top spot in League One. A move back to Leicester, where he was first-team manager alongside Ruud Van Nistelrooy, could be quite appealing to Murphy.
His successful 4-2-3-1 formation has been key to Cardiff’s success with his ability to change to a 4-4-2 formation when out of possession with 2 pressing uptop.
Doing an incredible job with Stockport County in League One might be hard to prise him away from the club after being there for the past 4 years.
He uses a 3-4-1-2 formation with his Stockport side and is known for having quick transitions from defence to attack in his side, and likes to play with quite high intensity.
Would be a very good appointment and suits the way Leicester need to play to turn around their results.
A for the job, however, he has plenty of experience in the Championship as well as Premier League with Huddersfield Job.
Wagner may not have worked at Norwich, but his ability to switch formations to adapt to his side, 4-3-3, 4-2-3-1 and 4-5-1 gave Norwich success in the early stages.
A return to England may suit the American due to his success in English Football.
Every four managers have their own reasons as to why they could be the next Leicester City boss.
Barry-Murphy seems the most obvious appointment due to his links with the club; however, there are plenty of other options, such as Russell Martin, who’s out of a job since his sacking from Rangers.
