Former Leicester keeper Mark Schwarzer says the “name that jumps” out at him about who could succeed Steve Cooper is former Brighton and Chelsea boss Graham Potter.
Potter, who is believed to have held talks with the Foxes before they decided on Cooper, has been out of work since being dismissed by Chelsea in April 2023 following less than seven months in charge of the Stamford Bridge club.
“Would he be interested in taking on a team and club like Leicester? Why not? I think he would do a fantastic job,” said Schwarzer.
Former West Ham boss David Moyes and Ruud van Nistelrooy could also come into contention.
Moyes left West Ham at the end of last season, while Van Nisterooy – who took interim charge of Manchester United following Ten Hag’s exit – recently left the Old Trafford club after Ruben Amorim’s appointment.
“We saw the job he [Van Nistelrooy] did at Manchester United, taking over at one of their lowest points of the season when they had just lost their manager.
“Van Nistelrooy took over and steadied the ship. Three wins and one draw during his time in charge.
“David Moyes has had a phenomenal career and has been underrated and underappreciated at times. Would he fit in at Leicester? Only they would know.
“But, for me, the first name that you would look at is Graham Potter. The style they have been playing in recent seasons will suit him and he would have every opportunity to build a very good team there.”
Who do you think should succeed Cooper, Foxes fans?
