3 managers who could replace Steve Cooper at Leicester City | OneFootball

Steve Cooper might not last much longer at Leicester City, if results continue. We will address 3 managers who could replace Steve Cooper at Leicester.

Steve Cooper is walking on a thin tightrope at Leicester City. Despite only being hired in the summer transfer window, there is every possibility that he might not make it until Christmas as Foxes boss.

As it stands, Leicester City are 15th in the Premier League table. At face value, this is not a bad position to be in. However, when delving deeper into the context, it doesn't make for good viewing. Leicester are just three points above the drop-off zone, after all.

So, if Steve Cooper is given the axe by Leicester City - Who could realistically come in? Here are three managers who could replace Steve Cooper right now.

3 managers who could replace Steve Cooper at Leicester City

1. Graham Potter

Graham Potter is perhaps the most logical solution. He has great Premier League experience already and more importantly, he has experience of managing from the bottom-up.

Graham Potter is only 49 years old, so he is still young for a manager. Therefore, he could definitely build a long-term project at Leicester. This is, unfortunately, something he was not trusted with at other clubs.

Potter is available immediately, considering he is out of a managerial job as it stands.

2. David Moyes

It was revealed this week that David Moyes is of interest to Leicester City. What's more, is that the Scottish manager would like to return to the Premier League after a stint away from management.

David Moyes would not entertain the King Power crowd. His style of play does not have this impact, but he does know how to manage a team and get the players on board.

As Leicester seek to avoid relegation this season, David Moyes could be the perfect man for the job. Let's not forget that he won a European title with West Ham, which has to count for something.

3. Ruud van Nistelrooy

This option is not based on any news, other than a hit-and-hope after seeing Ruud van Nistelrooy leave Man United this week.

The Dutchman is one of the best strikers the Premier League has ever seen. Despite still being early in his managerial career, he might be worth a punt from a Leicester City perspective.

After all, he faced Steve Cooper twice during his interim period in charge. He won both matches, despite Man United being in awful form this season. Therefore, he'd arguably be an upgrade on Cooper.
