Last summer, most fans thought Danny Rohl was the top choice for the Leicester manager role. However, Marti Cifuentes, who was appointed, wasn’t part of those early discussions. This summer, everything should focus on achieving an immediate return to the EFL Championship as the main goal.
The reason to patient is always one that should never be faulted. We hope the club will do a thorough review on every aspect and in no way hurry this decision to believe it’s just one to fix as soon as possible.
Last season, impatience led to the appointment of Marti Cifuentes. The situation with Danny Rohl at Sheffield Wednesday was chaotic. He was initially expected to leave, then he took over training, got fired, and became available just as Leicester made their move.
We believe Danny Rohl would have been a great fit for Leicester, but it was complicated. The appointment of Marti Cifuentes didn’t work out. Hopefully, the club has now found its preferred choice, if not, in the next three to four weeks, there will be clearer options in the manager market as many issues are still being resolved.
Mark Davies and Mark Robins both in manager jobs at Birmingham and Stoke. To approach them at this point looks difficult, in two to four weeks time we all know if those are available. Robbie Keane recently stepped down at Ferenchvaros, and are open to new adventures, either abroad or returning to UK to try his luck here.

We have not a timeline on anyhting really as Leicester manager appointments in the past has depended on different dilemmas. This time we have not even heard or got it confirmed that Gary Rowett is no longer the first team manager. He is also linked with the vacant manager role at Blackburn Rovers.
Looking at the current list of candidates, there are no changes with a certain Darren Ferguson in top, followed by some other candidates also being linked with other vacant manager positions.
Leicester’s contact with NEC Nijmegen boss Dirk Schreuder shows they are pursuing high-profile candidates, indicating a broader vision for the club beyond just being a League One team.
