Steve Cooper is under pressure at Leicester City and with uncertainty surrounding the Welsh manager’s future, the Foxes have been linked with former Premier League ‘Big Six’ managers Graham Potter and David Moyes.
The board at the King Power Stadium are believed to be growing impatient with Leicester’s current situation, with the Premier League side sitting 15th in the table after winning just two of their opening 11 games.
The Foxes have also been knocked out of the EFL Cup after suffering a hammering at the hands of Man United.
Leicester have not won any of their last four games, but that followed a run of Premier League victories. Cooper is doing the job he is expected to do at the moment as the former Nottingham Forest manager did not see many talented players arrive at the club in the summer.
Keeping up is the aim for the 2016 Premier League champions and so far Cooper is on course to achieve that.
