“Leicester City” has found a coach who will try to save the club from relegation from the Premier League.

The Athletic journalist David Ornstein announces that Dean Smith will take over the reins. The English coaching staff will be supplemented by former club employees Craig Shakespeare and legendary defender John Terry.

D. Smith previously successfully led the Brentford and Aston Villa teams. At the end of last season, the specialist tried to save Norwich City in the highest division of England, but the mission was unsuccessful.

The situation at Leicester City is difficult. The next match is against champions Manchester City, and they are 2 points away from the safe zone. There are 8 matches left until the end of the season.

The Foxes tried to lure Jesse Marsch and Rafael Benitez, but the negotiations were unsuccessful.
