Steve Cooper becomes the fastest-ever manager to be fired as Leicester fires him after just 12 days of employment.

Arriving to King Power Stadium as the Club continues to get ready

for our top-flight comeback after being promoted from the

Sky Bet Championship last season,

Steve, 44,

has agreed to a three-year contract.

After leading Nottingham Forest to

promotion and establishment in the top flight between 2021 and 2023,

Steve went on to manage in the Premier League.

His reputation as a leader and coach in the game is well-established.

“I am really excited and proud to be

appointed Leicester City’s First Team Manager,” stated Steve Cooper.

This is an amazing Club with a devoted following and a long history.

Working with a team this brilliant excites me,

and I’m eager to take on the challenge of

realizing our common goals in the Premier League.

Cooper, a Pontypridd native,

played for Wrexham before becoming one of the

youngest coaches in history to get a UEFA Pro License at the age of 27.

In September 2008,

he resigned from his position as

Head of Youth Development at Wrexham to become an academy coach at Liverpool.

He eventually rose to the position of Academy Manager,

leading the team’s Under-18s in the 2012–13 season.

Before being named manager of the Under-17 team the next year,

he assumed leadership of England’s Under-16 team in October 2014.

Before his team was named the FIFA Under-17 World Cup winners five months later,

he guided them to the final of the UEFA European Under-17 Championship in May 2017.

When Steve took over as head coach of Swansea City in June 2019,

the team finished sixth in his first season,

losing to Brentford over two legs in the play-off semifinal.

The next season,

he managed to secure fourth place and led his team to the play-off final at Wembley,

where they were defeated by Brentford.

Steve left South Wales in July 2021,

and in September of the same year he was appointed manager of Nottingham Forest.

In his first season in command,

he remarkably guided the City Ground team

from the bottom of the Championship to a fourth-place finish,

which resulted in promotion to the Premier League through the play-offs.

The following year,

he made sure Forest remained in the top division until departing the team in December 2023.

As Leicester City’s manager,

Steve will now embark on an exciting new chapter.

The playing team is scheduled to resume preseason training in early July.
