Wes Morgan being groomed for a major role at Leicester City
By Akash Roy
Leicester City club captain Wes Morgan has chosen to hang up his boots after the end of this footballing season. LCFC and Brendan Rodgers made official statements.
Yesterday Leicester City announced the departures of several players at the climax of this noteworthy season. The press release revealed that club veterans like Christian Fuchs and Matty James were leaving the club after this season, and club captain Wes Morgan will be retiring from football after a glorious career.
Morgan has had a near-perfect career with the King Power club and had seen it all happen from the best seat in the house. He joined City from Nottingham Forest in 2012 and has been one of the most influential and instrumental pillars of City’s prominence. He has made 277 appearances for the East Midlands side.

Morgan has hoisted several treasured silverware as the Foxes’ captain. Many club captains would be envious of such a splendorous career. As a club captain, he has won the Football League Championship (2013-14), the Premier League (2015-16), and FA Cup (2020–21). His accolades enrich the club’s astronomical rise. Wes Morgan is the embodiment of our collective growth and success over the last few years.
What’s next for Leicester City’s captain Morgan?
Manager Brendan Rodgers spoke to the media ahead of the final game of the season. He answered the much-anticipated question that was looming in everybody’s mind. If we can expect the 37-year old Wes Morgan to take up a distinct role within the club’s management.
Here’s what the boss had to say:
"“We need to sit down in the summer and see where he’s at. He has ideas of what he wants to do. He needs to have a break first. I’m pretty sure there is a role for him here. It’s to help him with his ambitions, whether that’s coaching, as a director of football. We want to facilitate that.”– Brendan Rodgers on Wes Morgan, via Leicester Mercury."
Morgan has remained inactive for most of the last season due to a prolonged back issue. The captain needs a rest, and we can all appreciate his enormous contribution to this club.
