Leicester City reportedly found a new manager after deciding to part ways with Brendan Rodgers last week. According to multiple reports, the Premier League side is set to hire U.S. manager Jesse Marsch as their new boss.
Leicester identified Marsch as their top target earlier this week and believes the American can keep them in Premier League. The two sides have a few minor details to hammer out on what will be a multi-year deal.
Leicester City moved on from Rodgers after sliding to the relegation zone of the Premier League standings. Since then, they suffered two more defeats and are currently second to last with two points behind Everton at the No. 17.
Reportedly, Leicester believes Marsch’s system is a good fit for their squad and would be a good solution on a long-term basis. He also expressed willingness to work in Championship in the case that the club isn’t able to keep its Premier League status.
Marsch faced the same situation with Leeds United last season when he took the club in threat of relegation and guided them to safety. However, he failed to replicate the success in 2022-23 and was sacked by Leeds United in February. The 49-year-old manager was previously linked with an open job at Crystal Palace, but the club opted to hire former manager Roy Hodgson instead.
