Steve Cooper is said to have already started looking for a summer addition as his first move as Leicester City manager.
After fending off interest from Brentford, Cooper is likely to add highly regarded set-piece coach Andrew Hughes to his new-look Leicester team, as reported by the Daily Mail.
Cooper, who had been unemployed since being fired by Nottingham Forest in December 2023, signed a contract with the Foxes this week. He takes over for Enzo Maresca, who left to join Chelsea.
After parting ways with East Midlands rivals Nottingham Forest six months ago, Cooper is making his Premier League comeback.
He has a significant challenge ahead of him to ensure that City’s inaugural season back in the top division is a success.
