"the Foxes are reportedly in meltdown' and have turned to a familiar face in a desperate bid to stabilise a season that is rapidly spiraling out of control The dramatic move comes in the wake of Marti Cifuentes' sacking just six months into his tenure. Cifuentes was dismissed following a brutal collapse in form that saw the team win only once between September and October. A recent 2-1 home defeat to struggling Oxford United proved to be the final straw for the hierarchy."
"Maresca, who left Chelsea last month, remains a highly respected figure at Leicester due to the immediate impact he made during the 202324 campaign. After being appointed in June 2023, the Italian tactician, a former assistant to Pep Guardiola, implemented a dominant, possession-based style that swept through the second tier. During that season, he was named Championship Manager of the Month on four separate occasions as he guided the Foxes to the league title and an immediate return to the Premier League."
Leicester City have initiated talks with former manager Enzo Maresca about a potential return to the King Power Stadium as the club seeks stability. Marti Cifuentes was sacked after a severe loss of form that produced only one win between September and October and a 2-1 home defeat to Oxford United. Maresca earned promotion in 2023–24 with a dominant possession-based style, won multiple Manager of the Month awards, and left for Chelsea last month. Leicester have been hit with a six-point PSR deduction, dropping them to 20th and raising fears of a double relegation, prompting interest in Maresca to salvage the season.
