Steve Cooper's new job while ex-Foxes favourite may have joined rivals | OneFootball

Ex-Leicester City manager Steve Cooper was sacked towards the end of the previous year and almost mid-season. The one-time Nottingham Forest head coach was then out of work for a few months. However, trustworthy writer Henry Winter has now announced Cooper's new post. The journalist also explained just what the 45-year-old will be doing in his fresh role. So what is the Welshman's job precisely? And is Cooper expected to return to England's Premier League?

Meanwhile an ex-Fox has been spoken of in the media rather a lot of late. The attacker left the English top flight for Spain's La Liga during the summer. This particular forward was at King Power Stadium for quite a few seasons. He never fulfilled his potential, however the Blue Army took him in as one of their own which is always great to see.

The player in question is now back in the country playing in the Championship. Yet, apparently, this old Foxes favourite may have joined a rival club in January instead of Middlesbrough. But which team could he have joined?
