It didn’t take long for Leicester City to get back into the Premier League. The Foxes have won the Championship this year, and they got promoted to the EPL after getting relegated in the 2022–23 season. They will have to find a new coach after Maresca left, so who is the favorite to replace the Italian coach at King Power Stadium?
Chelsea are reportedly finalizing the contract for Enzo Maresca to join Stamford Bridge. The Italian coach spent only one year with Leicester City and won the Championship title with them. He was once the assistant manager for Pep Guardiola at Man City as well, so the Chelsea board will have a lot of expectations from him. Leicester City have had a lot of success with the Italian managers, as they have also won the Premier League title with Claudio Ranieri before as well.
Here are the updated odds for which coach will replace Maresca as the next Leicester City manager:
The best Leicester City betting odds have Steve Cooper and Ruud Van Nistelrooy as the front-runners. Cooper was sacked back in December of his Nottingham Forest job, as the team was struggling in the relegation zone. Van Nistelrooy only managed one first team before, and that was PSV Eindhoven. The Dutch coach won the Johan Cruyff Shield and KNVB Cup with them before leaving in 2023.
Carlos Corberan is the current West Bromwich Albion coach, and he has extended his contract until 2027, so it is unlikely that he joins the Foxes. David Moyes left West Ham after his contract expired at the end of the 2023-24 season, so he is available to manage another EPL team.
