The managerial situation at Leicester City Football Club has been a constant concern for the Blue Army faithful since Brendan Rodgers began to lose his way, initiating his own Foxes downfall after achieving greatness at Wembley. Since then, a procession of ill-advised, underqualified, and wholly underwhelming bosses have traversed King Power Stadium's currently revolving doors.
​All quantity with minimal quality. The club cannot afford, nor attract, the previously competent and all-consuming gaffer they once employed during flourishing, wealthier times.
Following the departure of the Northern Irishman and his close-minded ways, the hierarchy oversaw a turbulent period featuring the brief, ineffective stewardship of Dean Smith. Followed by the appointment of the astute Enzo Maresca; the subsequent arrival of Steve Cooper left an indelible mark of inconsistency upon the squad.
What Leicester City need?
"All we [the 2016 LCFC squad] wanted to do was play our best and that’s basically it. There was never any danger of this flipping the other way. We were too honest with each other, we kept each other in check."Fuchs - Leicestershire Live
​Someone who knows the organisation inside out, and loves it, is what the support incessantly and desperately request. Former Fox Christian Fuchs could arguably be that man, although he has been simultaneously linked and distanced from the LE2 role by various media outlets.
"There was no jealousy, there was no ‘me’, it was ‘us’ and what 'we' can do for each other to be successful. That symbolised that [2015/16] season."
Currently carving his path in the coaching sphere, the likable Austrian remains a name the Leicestershire fan base would definitely prefer to the likes of Darren Ferguson or Russell Martin overall. While Fuchs' recent endeavors have been distinct from the high-pressure demands of the a place like Filbert Way, there is a romantic as well as rational appeal to his potential homecoming.
"I was at the King Power a few weeks ago when I hosted a tournament with my academy. I stepped foot on the field, and it felt like home; it felt really good. It made the feeling even stronger to look forward to coming back [for the Anniversary Match]."
Inadvertently, or perhaps exceptionally cleverly, the retired left back who secured immortality as part of the Premier League-winning side recently articulated a philosophy that resonates deeply with disaffected LCFC supporters. He provided a compelling, if unintentional, case for his candidacy, as seen throughout this article.
" I genuinely enjoyed the six years that I was at the club.
"Every season had something different at both scales, many positives and some negatives. It never got boring, but I can tell you that I’m so proud of being here through the highs and lows."
A return to City's fundamental values and style might be the only medicine required to heal a fractured institution. A familiar, hopefully competent, face may be the necessary vessel.
"It has made me a Leicester City fan. I said before, my son is keeping tabs on the game and when we can, we watch every single game. We never lose touch with it."
