Leicester confirmed Marti Cifuentes as a new manager.

Cifuentes replaces Ruud Van Nistelrooy, who left the King Power Stadium after seven months in charge after the relegation of the Foxes to the Championship.

Cifuenes signed a two -year agreement at the King Power Stadium, with the possibility of an additional year.

The 43-year-old man was at the colleague of the rangers of the second-level club club, but at the end of June, after being placed in gardening, having had interviews with West Bromwich Albion about the job of head coach. CIFUTENTES did not receive the post, Ryan Mason taking over instead.

Leicester paid costs of £ 500,000 of compensation in QPR – Cifuentes by paying exactly half of this renouncing some of the wages and the signing costs that he owes foxes. Indeed, Cifuentes takes a salary reduction to support the Midlands Club.

The Spanish head coach was happy to do so and proposed it to his new employers – because he is excited by the project, although with very tight finances in Leicester, and with the prospect of a deduction of points which is looming on the club for alleged violations of the PSR.

Leicester will also have to sell players before you can buy new recruits this summer.

The new Foxes manager is online, take responsibility for the team for the Leicester Sister Club, Oh Leuven, before going to Austria on Wednesday for a pre-season training camp.

The season of Leicester championships begins on August 10 with a home match against Sheffield on Wednesday.
