Next Leicester City Manager Odds

Leicester City Football Club will always be remembered in history as the underdogs who won the Premier League.

It was back in 2016 that Claudio Ranieri guided the Foxes to their first ever Premier League title, fighting off the likes of Arsenal Spurs, Manchester City & United to finish 10 points clear at the top of the table.

However, less than 9 months after achieving the impossible, manager Claudio Ranieri was sacked by Leicester City which sent shock waves throughout the football world. Leicester were unable to reproduce the form and results that lead them to the title the season prior and as is usually the case, it was the manager who took the hit.

Since their title win, Leicester have had up and down seasons with their best finishes being in the 2019/20 & 2020/21 campaigns when Brendan Rodgers guided them to 5th-place in the Premier League.

Current Leicester City Manager

Ex-Manchester United striker, Ruud van Nistelrooy, was appointed as the new manager of Leicester City on 29th November 2024. The 48-year-old signed a contract with the club until June 2027, taking over from Steve Cooper, who became the next Premier League manager to be sacked that month.

The appointment came shortly after Van Nistelrooy’s departure from Manchester United, where he was an assistant coach following the departure of Erik ten Hag. He takes over a Leicester team who have recently made their way back into the Premier League and who are aiming to regain some of the form that helped them to top the league come the end of the 2015/16 season.

Who Will Be the Next Leicester Manager?

Leicester City aim to stay in the Premier League after moving up from the Championship last season. However, the Foxes haven’t gotten off to the best of starts and find themselves dangerously close to the relegation zone. Should Ruud van Nistelrooy not hit the ground running with his new side, he could find himself at risk of being replaced. However, he currently still has time and so Leicester City are not actively looking for a new manager.
