Three Leicester City players who benefit from Steve Cooper’s exit including summer signing
It’s all change once again at Leicester City as just months on from their last manager search, another one is now underway.
It comes after the announcement that Steve Cooper was dismissed by Leicester, with the Foxes picking up ten points from the opening 12 Premier League games.
The side are now just one point above the relegation zone, but performances have been a worrying indicator that worse may have been ahead.
With Cooper now out of the frame at the King Power Stadium, attention turns towards his successor and which option may be able to steer the team clear of danger.
The next head coach could help three Leicester players, who may already have benefitted from the departure of Cooper.
Three Leicester City players to benefit from Steve Cooper sacking
Jannik Vestergaard
Defender Jannik Vestergaard made 42 appearances in the Championship last season out of a possible 46 for Leicester, helping the side on their way to promotion.
It hasn’t been quite as easy this campaign though, making just four appearances in the Premier League under new management.
While that may be reason enough that a change at the top could benefit the Danish international, recent reports claimed that Cooper fell out with Vestergaard and banished him from Leicester training.
