Cifuentes confirmed as Leicester manager
'Breaking' graphicLeicester City have named former Queens Park Rangers head coach Marti Cifuentes as their new manager on a three-year deal.
The 43-year-old Spaniard replaces Ruud van Nistelrooy at the Foxes' helm with less than a month until the season starts.
Cifuentes takes charge of a Leicester side that finds itself in the Championship for the second time in three years, having been immediately relegated from the Premier League after going up as second-tier title winners under Enzo Maresca in 2024.
