With the aid of media reports, Foxes of Leicester elucidate why Graham Potter, former manager of Chelsea and Brighton & Hove Albion, might decline any offer from LCFC to assume the role at King Power Stadium. Would the supporters even welcome Potter as Leicester’s head coach? The general sentiment seems largely positive about the prospect of the 49-year-old taking charge.
Furthermore, FoL also delves into a separate rumor regarding the east Midlands club’s purported search for a new manager. This encompasses insights from reputable source The Times. As speculation regarding another former Chelsea manager emerges, what might the Blue Army think of Maurizio Sarri? We conducted a survey among a portion of the fans to gather their opinions on the Italian and the previously mentioned Englishman.
Maurizio Sarri to Leicester City?
First and foremost, The Times report emphasizes that the Leicester management is not in a hurry to select their new team leader. The Foxes are committed to taking their time in the selection process. Why the delay? Well, it could be attributed to allegations of breaching the Profit and Sustainability Rule, along with a pressing need to find the right individual to prevent the team from experiencing the dreaded cycle of promotion and relegation.
Former Chelsea head coach Maurizio Sarri is reportedly under consideration for the managerial position in Leicester. Despite his somewhat abrupt departure from Chelsea and the UK, his coaching prowess remains undisputed.
Who would be your ideal (but realistic) nomination for the next Leicester manager❓️👔
We will form a new 'what the Blue Army wants' article with the comments if we get a decent response 🦊👍
Cheers

However, as Chelsea delays the confirmation of Enzo Maresca’s appointment at Stamford Bridge, a recent report suggests that Sarri has declined Leicester’s offer. It appears that there might be less enthusiasm for him among the Leicester supporters compared to others.
Graham Potter thought to be ‘aiming higher’ than taking control at LCFC
Potter, another highly regarded manager, didn’t fare too well at Chelsea. Admittedly, he wasn’t afforded much opportunity to showcase his abilities and shape a squad to his liking. Despite this, he faced criticism from supporters at Stamford Bridge and worldwide for his tactics and strategies.

However, Potter demonstrated his managerial prowess by building a strong Brighton squad that played attractive football. The entertainment value of his previous team cannot be disputed. It’s worth noting that the level and potential at Brighton’s Amex Stadium are likely comparable to that of Leicester’s King Power Stadium.
Nevertheless, all of this speculation may be moot now. Reports suggest that Potter has set his sights on either the England National Team role or, at the very least, a position at Manchester United.
