Ndidi, teammates expect new boss as Leicester sack Cooper

Wilfred Ndidi and his Leicester City teammates will be expecting a new manager after the club announced the exit of manager Steve Cooper.

Cooper is leaving the club after a few months, with the Foxes standing 16th in the Premier League after 12 games.

Leicester were beaten 2-1 by a Chelsea side managed by former boss Enzo Maresca on Saturday – a defeat which left them two points above the relegation zone.

“Men’s first team training will be overseen by first team coach Ben Dawson, supported by coaches Danny Alcock and Andy Hughes, as the club begins the process of appointing a new manager, which we hope to conclude as soon as possible,” said a Leicester statement.

Assistant manager Alan Tate and first-team coach and analyst Steve Rands have also left the club, whose next game is away at Brentford on Saturday, 30 November.

The defeat by Chelsea was Leicester’s sixth in the top flight this season.
