QPR Await Contact as Leicester Consider Marti Cifuentes as New Manager

ENGLAND, JUL 9 – Leicester City aims to appoint Marti Cifuentes as manager after relegation but has not yet approached Queens Park Rangers, who retain compensation rights for the coach.

  • Leicester City is interested in Marti Cifuentes but has not formally approached QPR, which retains compensation rights, as of this week.
  • Following Leicester's relegation and Van Nistelrooy's departure, Cifuentes was placed on gardening leave at QPR, prompting Leicester's search for a new manager.
  • The Independent reports compensation is only payable by a club or federation, with Leicester willing to pay around £500,000 to hire Cifuentes, surpassing other candidates.
  • Despite Leicester's interest, no formal approach has been made to QPR, who retain compensation rights, with reports suggesting a six-figure fee could fund QPR's new signings and Leicester's promotion efforts.
  • Leicester City’s season starts on August 10 at King Power Stadium, with no confirmed manager decision amid ongoing preparations.
