Why haven't Leicester City appointed a manager yet?! You know that friendlies begin tomorrow (Saturday, July 5) right?
To be honest, there are almost certainly a multitude of reasons for the Foxes remaining managerless. In this article we aim to list and explain those particulars, as well as examining the latest bookmaker odds for the next LCFC first team boss.
Foxes hierarchy reluctance to hire or coaches reluctant to join LCFC?
If you were a top football gaffer (or a mediocre one), would you move to Leicestershire at the moment. Even as someone who literally loves the club and has supported them for nearly 30 years - hypothetically, I'd probably avoid that position like the plague.
In all seriousness, us Blue Army members want the best for the outfit. And that includes one of the most important elements of any sports association: having a suitable manager. There is a lot to offer at City: one of the best training facilities in the world, a Premier League standard youth set-up boasting emerging talent, a loyal fan base and a nice stadium.
Therefore any head coach would technically be lucky to be given the role. Though the detracting features at LCFC are becoming prominent and very negative aspects: King Power's possible demise, an unjustifiably immortal and overly influential director of football, a fluctuating division reality, Profit and Sustainability issues which includes overriding financial worries.
It's a tough one. But, as Enzo Maresca realised - a potentially fruitful opportunity.
