Leicester legend makes strange comments about what next season holds

Leicester City's proud Premier League legacy has now been tainted.

Once the talk of the town for how well managed they were under the shrewd managerial methods of Claudio Ranieri, who masterminded a Premier League title success in 2016, the Foxes, ten years on from this unfathomable moment, will be playing League One football next season.

All the hard work to put Leicester on the map has been undone, with the Foxes now the arguable laughing stock of the Midlands for the criminal mismanagement that has been allowed to happen.

Amazingly, in the league below where Leicester will call home next season, Foxes great Christian Fuchs, who lifted the Premier League title aloft so proudly, is at the Newport County helm as head coach, as he attempts to cut his teeth in the tough managerial game, after a respected playing career.

Fuchs is a respected Leicester great

Newport could still fall to the National League on the final day of the League Two season, with the Austrian finding his first main management gig to be a demanding job.

Before he hung up his boots, he was definitely viewed as a great at the King Power when donning Leicester blue, with 16 goal contributions coming his way from 152 clashes.

He might not have been as flashy as the likes of Riyad Mahrez and Jamie Vardy, but he was often a leader on the pitch for the Foxes during their Premier League prime.

This hasn't quite lent itself to the rigours of League Two management just yet, with only eight wins collected from 29 games in Wales, but Fuchs will back himself to be a success if he puts the same effort and determination into the job that he showed during his varied playing days.

Despite Newport's precarious League Two state, the 40-year-old has still managed to comment on his ex-club's downfall, with the Austrian's comments rather perplexing.

The hope will be that Leicester can return to the Championship as quickly as possible, instead of being stuck in the murky waters of League One.

This will be easier said than done, though, with the club in an almighty mess on and off the field, which will not be saved overnight.

In Fuchs' eyes, however, he believes that the people in charge, which includes the very unpopular duo of Aiyawatt Srivaddhanaprabha and John Rudkin, "will make the right decisions" to restore the club to their former glories.

He said, when discussing Leicester's bruising relegation: "Obvious something has to change, whatever it is.

"But I believe the people in charge will make the right decisions to get the club up and running again to push for promotion next."

While Fuchs has some misguided faith that the situation can be turned around with those already in the building, many at Leicester would love for the likes of Rudkin to move on, instead, as he has been at the forefront of the Foxes' demise.

It's clear that Fuchs still has a space for Leicester in his heart, but it does feel as if his views are a bit too simplistic, as the Foxes could be set for a long stay in League One, if their malaise isn't lifted.

In time, the Austrian might well even be Foxes manager, depending on whether his struggles persist at Newport or not.
