Leicester City has hired Steve Cooper as manager on a three-year deal, replacing Enzo Maresca.
Cooper was most recently manager of Nottingham Forest until his dismissal in December.
“I am really excited and proud to be appointed Leicester’s manager,” said Cooper. “This is a fantastic club with a rich history and passionate supporters. I am excited to work with such a talented squad and I’m looking forward to the challenge of achieving our shared ambitions in the Premier League.”
Leicester was close to hiring Graham Potter, but those talks stalled and the club pivoted to Cooper.
