Leicester City are reportedly finally on the verge on appointing a new manager. Oh how the Blue Army have suffered this year! But now the pain and suffering could soon be over. Well, I won't hold my breath to be honest, but the Foxes now have a chance of stability and progress. So, when will the prospective latest Leicester boss, Marti Cifuentes, be announced at King Power Stadium?
And, interestingly, we learn how Cifuentes apparently secured the top job on Filbert Way. He certainly had plenty of well-known rival candidates to defeat. Let's discover what's going on at LCFC from the best media sources known to Leicestershire like John Percy of The Telegraph, and Sky Sports' Rob Dorsett!
How did Marti Cifuentes secure the Foxes head coach position?
OK, according to Dorset, who has typically trustworthy informants, Cifuentes has verbally agreed to become City's next gaffer. This update appears to be good news to most of the LCFC faithful. The majority of whom didn't seem to want bosses such as Sean Dyche or Gary O'Neil.
The man from Spain who will lead the East Midlanders in 2025/26 is taking a pay cut too. That may be intertwined with his compensation package with Queens Park Rangers. He will sign a two-year contract, with the option for another term.
When will Cifuentes be announced at Leicester City?
If you are wondering what Cifuentes will demand, or how he will have his Leicester side play, we have you covered. Leicester Mercury note that the Spaniard's style is pressure and possession, much like former Foxes boss Enzo Maresca. Cifuentes also embraces modern techniques, ticking another LCFC box.

That’s according to The Telegraph who claim the former QPR boss could be confirmed ‘by the end of the week’."
So, when can we expect Catalan football at the King Power? Well, Percy, another supremely trusted purveyor of LCFC news, suggests that the hire is imminent. Cifuentes could be installed by Friday.
