Martí Cifuentes took over Leicester City in the summer with the goal of returning to the Premier League. – That is exactly what is hanging by a thread.
Leicester were relegated from the Premier League this spring and are aiming for a quick return, but the team is slipping down the table and finds themselves in the bottom half after 18 rounds. There have been exactly six wins, six draws and six losses.
Today it ended with another defeat, 2-3 at home to bottom team Sheffield United, after Leicester ended up in a 0-3 deficit after half an hour.
Now Cifuentes’ job is in jeopardy, according to British Talksport and journalist Ben Jacobs. Leicester’s owners are said to have considered a change on the coaching bench even before today’s defeat, according to Talksport.
Cifuentes signed a two-year contract when he took office in July. He coached Hammarby from 2022 to 2023 before taking over Championship club Queens Park Rangers.
