Leicester City Plans Manager Search Before Match

Leicester City is racing against time to appoint a new manager before their trip to Brentford on Saturday, following the sacking of Steve Cooper after just 15 games. The club is reportedly considering Graham Potter as a leading candidate, along with other potential names like Ruud van Nistelrooy and David Moyes. If a new manager isn't appointed by the weekend, first-team coach Ben Dawson will oversee the team's preparations, supported by set-piece coach Andrew Hughes and goalkeeping coach Danny Alcock. Cooper's dismissal came after a disappointing performance against Chelsea, leaving Leicester just above the relegation zone. Meanwhile, Gary Lineker has suggested that Leicester should consider Lee Carsley, who has impressed at the England under-21 level, for the managerial role, highlighting his potential coaching abilities. The urgency for change reflects Leicester's precarious position in the league and the need for a swift turnaround.
