EFL Analysis can confirm that reports suggesting that Marti Cifuentes will become the new Leicester City manager are true.

Leicester interviewed a number of candidates for the job, including Chris Wilder and Gary O’Neil, who spoke to the Foxes.

Ruud van Nistelrooy parted ways with the Foxes almost two months after their relegation from the Premier League was confirmed.

The Foxes are still one of the favourites for promotion in the Championship and it seems that Cifuentes will be the man tasked with that job.

Alex Crook of TalkSPORT revealed that Cifuentes had been in discussion with the Foxes and that, barring any mishaps, will take the reins at the King Power Stadium.

This has also been confirmed by EFL Analysis’ Chief Football Correspondent Graeme Bailey, who has revealed that the Spaniard will agree his own compensation with Queens Park Rangers and that this should be finalised within the next 24 hours.

Cifuentes left QPR on gardening leave midway through last season after reports that he fell out with the club’s board.

Marti Cifuentes was linked with the Middlesbrough job before Leicester came calling

Before Leicester came knocking, there were plenty of other Championship clubs that were interested in appointing Cifuentes.

One EFL expert tipped Cifuentes to become the Middlesbrough manager but they chose a different path after picking Rob Edwards as the man to replace the sacked Michael Carrick.

Andy King has been in charge of the Foxes during pre-season so far but as soon as the Spaniard’s appointment is confirmed, he will be on the training ground ready to take charge.
