Leicester news: Your views – who do you want to replace Enzo Maresca

Following the news that Enzo Maresca has left Leicester City to become Chelsea’s new manager, we asked for your views on who should be next.

Here are some of your responses:

Mike: Graham Potter would be the ideal date. However, with the FFP points deduction and transfer budget uncertainty I think he is unlikely to be tempted, Steve Cooper may be the only realistic option, but with the association with Nottingham Forest he will not be universally accepted by the Foxes faithful.

Peter: Potter may want a bigger club but he has had success with Brighton, a similar club with great owners. Leicester has great owners who will give wholehearted support to anyone they call. It seems like a perfect fit for both parties.

John: The target next season must be survival in the Premier League. So for that reason and that reason alone I would try to get David Moyes to be the next manager. Given that we are going to start with a points deduction, football should be based on results, not style of play. He’s also a free agent and we don’t have the money to pay a release clause.

Tom: Sad to see Enzo go, but we’ll move on. Oscar Garcia wasn’t mentioned, but he did a great job at our friends OH Leuven in the short time he was there. It could be a smart, budget-friendly date. Otherwise, let’s look at solid coaches, maybe Nelson Vivas, Ruud van Nistelrooy or a return for Esteban Cambiasso.

Carl: We should definitely go for Cooper, despite his history at Forest. He is a fair footballer with an excellent CV. He’s had a break from driving so I’m sure he’ll be thinking about getting back into the game by now. LCFC should complete that deal as soon as possible before another club takes him.

Joe: If we want to get ambitious, try for Potter. If we want to try to stay/survive in the league, I’d go all-in for a two-year deal with Moyes. I also hope some of our forgotten men get a chance now, especially Harry Souttar.

You will: The sensible option is someone out of a job, like Van Nistelrooy, so we can pocket the difference and meet profit and sustainability regulations. The likely option is someone rated but with a job like Carlos Corberan. The financially irresponsible thing to do would be to throw money at an established name like Sarri and strap in for the ride. The third version please!
