Steve Cooper has emerged as the favourite to become the new Leicester City manager, according to reports.

Cooper has been without a job since being sacked by Nottingham Forest just under seven months ago.

During his time at the City Ground, Cooper won 42 of his 108 games in charge, winning the 2022 Championship play-offs to lead Forest back to the Premier League for the first time since 1999.

However, the Welshman was removed from his role in December as Forest battled against relegation, with replacement Nuno Espirito Santo just about able to lead them to safety, finishing 17th and six points clear of Luton Town, despite a four-point deduction.

Cooper lined up for Leicester job

Leicester City are on the hunt for a new manager after Enzo Maresca was unveiled as Chelsea boss earlier this week.

The Italian led the Foxes to the 2023/24 Championship title and an immediate return to the Premier League, but was understood to be worried about the club’s financial position, while simultaneously catching the eye of Chelsea.

West Brom’s Carlos Corberan has been heavily linked with the vacant position at the King Power Stadium. However, according to talkSPORT, it’s Cooper who has now emerged as the favourite.

With Cooper out of work, no fee would be required to bring him on board, with West Brom sure to demand a generous compensation package to allow Corberan to leave.

Despite his impressive achievements as a manager — also winning the U17 World Cup and reaching the U17 European Championship final with England and enjoying a two-year spell in charge of Swansea — Cooper would be a controversial appointment at Leicester given his ties to Midlands rivals Nottingham Forest.

Enzo Maresca is very close to leaving Leicester City after just one season with Chelsea set to announce the Italian as their new coach in the near future. 

The Blues have identified the 44-year-old as the man they want to replace Mauricio Pochettino having been impressed by the Leicester boss’ work in the Championship this season as he guided the Foxes to the title.

That was Maresca’s only campaign working in English football, meaning Chelsea have taken a massive risk in hiring the Italian coach.

Leicester will now have to replace Maresca for their Premier League return and talkSPORT’s football editor Jason Bourne has suggested that they could target West Brom’s Carlos Corberan to be their next manager.

Bourne said on X: “It’s very early days, but a couple of us at talkSPORT are hearing the name Carlos Corberan as a potential target for Leicester, should Enzo Maresca move on.”

Corberan is a highly-rated coach in the Championship given his adaptable style of play and has been linked to several jobs in the past, such as Leeds United.

Carlos Corberan would have a tough job at Leicester City

Corberan helped West Brom reach the Championship play-offs this season but fell to Southampton at the semi-final stage. Nevertheless, it was a great season for the Birmingham club, who will not want to lose their manager heading into the 2024/25 campaign.

Should the Spaniard join Leicester, he will have a very tough job on his hands as financial restrictions will prevent the Foxes from spending big this summer.

This will be a worry upon their Premer League return as all the teams that got promoted last season went straight back down this term. Corberan can make Leicester a very solid team in England’s top flight, but without big spending, it will be a very tough task.

Although an announcement isn’t yet forthcoming, the smart money appears to be on Leicester City manager, Enzo Maresca, stepping into Mauricio Pochettino’s shoes at Chelsea.

The Italian, a former coach at Man City under Pep Guardiola, passed his first managerial test in England with flying colours, taking the Foxes back up to the Premier League at the first attempt.

Were he to jump ship at the first opportunity after that triumph, it would surely leave a sour taste in the mouth of the King Power Stadium faithful.

After all, there’s a real opportunity at the club for the 44-year-old to build something special.

Enzo Maresca could be replaced by former Championship opponent

If he were to leave it all behind to move to Chelsea, a club that don’t appear to know which direction it wants to go in from one season to the next, he’s arguably making a rod for his own back.

In any event, the Midlands-based side will need to make a contingency plan in the event that Maresca decides he does prefer the challenge in West London to the one he would otherwise have in keeping Leicester in the English top-flight.

According to a post on X (formerly Twitter) by talkSPORT football editor, Jason Bourne, West Bromwich Albion manager, Carlos Corberan, is being considered as Maresca’s replacement.

The Baggies narrowly missed out on promotion after being defeated in the Play-Off semi-finals by eventual winners, Southampton.

At 41, Corberan doesn’t have a particularly impressive CV, with respect.

Eight years ago he began his managerial career at Doxa followed by a short spell at Ermis. Three years coaching Leeds United’s U23 side was followed by a two-year stint at Huddersfield Town before an ill-fated sojourn to Olympiacos.

On the face of it, he would need to seriously up his game if he was deemed to be the manager that is the one to take the club to the next level.

With a mass exodus of players expected at Leeds United across the summer, the new owners, 49ers Enterprises, are going to need their wits about them when it comes to making the right decisions for a new manager, sporting director and players.

Get it right, and the Yorkshire-based Championship outfit could be straight back up into the Premier League, but if not, it could be a long, hard season for everyone connected with the club.

To that end, if the new board go with one particular appointment, it could lead to them getting a midfielder into the bargain too.

Planet Sport cite reports that West Bromwich Albion coach, Carlos Corberan, is on the shortlist for the manager’s job at Elland Road.

It isn’t clear at this stage whether he’s the favourite to take a position last held by Sam Allardyce, as the outlet also note that Scott Parker and Daniel Farke are in the running.

Where Corberan may hold the advantage is his employment with the club as Marcelo Bielsa’s assistant.

He knows the club and how it works, and even if the new board expect some changes from the time he was last at Elland Road, Corberan’s prior knowledge of how things work generally at the club has to hold him in good stead.

Planet Sport also say that reports suggest Leeds are being linked with West Brom’s Jayson Molumby. If Corberan were successful with his application, the expectation might be that Molumby would soon follow suit.

West Brom have brutally mocked Leeds United with their new contract announcement video for Carlos Corberan.

Fabrizio Romano recently confirmed to CaughtOffside via his Substack column that Corberan was a target for Leeds United after they sacked Jesse Marsch.

Corberan is doing an excellent job in turning around West Brom‘s season, and they’ve now announced he has signed a new contract, ending speculation that he will join Leeds.

West Brom took to Twitter to mock Leeds with a hilarious teaser video for Corberan’s new deal.

Leeds United confirmed the sacking of Jesse Marsch yesterday and Fabrizio Romano has given exclusive insight into the club’s decision and what they might do next.

Writing in the Daily Briefing, his exclusive CaughtOffside column, Romano explained that although there weren’t any issues between Marsch and the Leeds players, the feeling inside Elland Road was that the American tactician was unable to turn things around for the team.

Leeds have had a dreadful season so far, with no wins in their last seven Premier League games, and only a slightly better goal difference than Everton keeping them out of the relegation zone for the moment.

Although Marsch helped the Yorkshire side stay up last season, it seems like this was the right time to make a change, and Romano says several candidates are in the frame to replace him.

The reporter named West Brom boss Carlos Corberan as one option for Leeds, but it seems there are other names also being explored.

“The decision on Jesse Marsch was made on Monday morning, the club were not happy with the performance against Forest,” Romano said.

Carlos Corberan to be next Leeds manager?

“There were no problems with the players but the feeling is that Marsch was not able to change the situation.

“Carlos Corberan is one of the candidates, but not the only one – talks are ongoing to find a replacement.”

Leeds United aren’t at their best at the moment, and it’s leading to growing speculation over the future of Jesse Marsch as manager.

The American tactician replaced Marcelo Bielsa last season and did just enough to steer the club away from relegation, though there hasn’t been much progress since then.

Marsch is surely running out of time to turn things around, and it now seems that West Brom’s Spanish tactician Carlos Corberan is being considered by Leeds.

The 39-year-old has previously managed Leeds Under-23s, and he’s done some impressive work since then, particularly with West Brom in the Championship this season.

However, it’s not gone so well this season, and according to The Sun, West Ham have already lined up Moyes’ replacement if he was to be sacked.

That’s according to recent reports, which suggest the Whites would consider former RB Leipzig boss Jesse Marsch, former Barcelona manager Ernesto Valverde and Huddersfield Town gaffer Carlos Corberan, if Bielsa leaves the club in the summer.

The Argentine tactician will be out of contract at the end of the season and still with no signs of renewal, suggestions Bielsa could call it a day in Yorkshire are beginning to mount.
