Super Eagles midfielder, Wilfred Ndidi, will work under a new boss as Leicester City have sacked Steve Cooper.
The Foxes have decided to part ways with Cooper, with the team 16th in the Premier League after 12 games.
They were beaten 2-1 by a Chelsea side managed by former boss Enzo Maresca on Saturday – a defeat which left them two points above the relegation zone.
Cooper took over from Maresca in the summer after the Italian had led Leicester to the 2023-24 Championship title and promotion back into the Premier League.
“Men’s first team training will be overseen by first team coach Ben Dawson, supported by coaches Danny Alcock and Andy Hughes, as the club begins the process of appointing a new manager, which we hope to conclude as soon as possible,” said a Leicester statement.
Cooper took over at Leicester following a stint in charge at Nottingham Forest, who sacked him in December 2023.
