Leicester City have appointed former Nottingham Forest boss Steve Cooper as their new head coach on a three-year contract.
Cooper replaces Enzo Maresca, who left to join Chelsea earlier this summer, at the King Power Stadium after the club carried out a thorough process of due diligence and spoke to several candidates including Graham Potter.
Cooper had been out of work since being sacked by Nottingham Forest - Leicester's East Midlands rivals - last December, as the club languished in 17th place in the Premier League after a run of just one win in 13 games.
The 44-year-old Welshman has also previously been in charge of the England U16 and U17 international sides, winning the World Cup with the latter in 2017, before managing Championship side Swansea City from 2019-2021.
