Steve Cooper has been named as manager of Leicester City
The former Nottingham Forest boss signed a three-year deal.
Cooper, 44, has been out of work since leaving Forest in December 2023.
The Foxes have been searching for a new manager since Enzo Maresca departed for Chelsea at the start of June.
Maresca joined Leicester at the start of last season, guiding the club to first place in the Championship and an immediate return to the Premier League after their relegation in 2022-23.
The Foxes considered a number of replacements, including West Brom manager Carlos Corberan.
Cooper provides the Foxes with Premier League experience, having kept Forest in the top flight by finishing 16th following their promotion in 2022.
He was a popular figure with Forest supporters but he was sacked midway through last season, with the club 17th in the table.
Cooper’s first competitive fixture in charge will be on 19 August, when Leicester host Tottenham in the Premier League.
