”It is a great honor to become manager in Leicester City. This is a fantastic club with a proud history and it is a privilege for me to be asked to be involved and write the next chapter”, says the 43-year-old Spaniard to Leicester's website.

Leicester shocked the entire football world when the club won the Premier League in 2016. Leicester also won the FA Cup as recently as 2021, and has also won the league cup and Community Shield.

Martí Cifuentes comes most recently from the coaching job in Queens Park Rangers where he came after leaving Hammarby in the fall of 2023 after two seasons in the club.
