Leicester City Football Club can no longer be described as managerless or (technically) unprepared for the upcoming Championship campaign. That's because a meticulous appearing manager has now finally joined the Foxes. I'm sure all of the Blue Army members reading this will know that Marti Cifuentes has taken the top position on Filbert Way.
However, some of the fan base might not know exactly how the Catalan sets up his sides and lays out his game plans. That's where we come in; with a little help from other Leicester experts and a Queens Park Rangers specialist. Loftus Road was, of course, where the 43-year-old previously resided in his career.
Though he left QPR in curious circumstances, the City support don't seem to mind. I mean, for example, Enzo Maresca used LCFC as a proverbial stepping-stone. Even if only for one season, we definitely got what we needed from the Italian: promotion back to the Premier League.
Anyway, we will now describe what to expect on the pitch from Cifuentes. In addition to that factor, Foxes of Leicester also have good news for the Leicestershire faithful. That's due a decision reportedly being made on Leicester legend Andy King by the powers-that-be at King Power Stadium.
Marti Cifuentes' style of play
First of all, you're probably hearing about Cifuentes' predilection for possession-based football. And he does attempt it. Although, QPR's personnel couldn't match the philosophy; their ball-holding statistics were far from dominant last term. We see potential mirroring at LCFC.
'Possession, pressing and positioning' are apparent ideologies. We can expect positional stretching to be deployed to make space, thankfully. Not to mention a probable 'build out from the back style'. Adaptable 4-2-3-1 and 4-3-2-1 formations are a preference.
Leicester City said to retain Andy King as coach
Now we have a very encouraging update for you on 'Kingy':
