Report: Leicester City now set for crunch decision as club weigh up move to appoint Graham Potter or Steven Gerrard this summer with Foxes keen to bounce straight back to PL next season

Leicester are set for a major decison to appoint Graham Potter or Steven Gerrard this summer with the Foxes desperate to bounce back to the EPL next season.

That is according to Alan Nixon who reports this story on his Patreon.

The former Chelsea boss’s reputation is in tatters after a disastrous spell at Stamford Bridge, and despite managing one of the biggest clubs in England earlier this year, he may now be set to step down to the Championship as Leicester look to approach him again after seeing an initial desperate move rejected by the Englishman after his dismissal at Chelsea.

It may seem rather strange for a former Chelsea boss to drop down to the second-tier.

It wasn’t too long ago that the 47-year-old was being branded as an ‘excellent’ manager, and you have to imagine that he’d back himself to get Leicester promoted if given the chance to take over at the King Power Stadium.

Potter has also received interest from Nice and Crystal Palace, but given that Nixon says Leicester are ready to offer the Englishman a huge salary to come in, perhaps a move to the East Midlands could be on the cards.

The Foxes are also still keeping their options open and are also looking at a move for Steven Gerrard should they fail to convince Graham Potter to take the reigns at the King Power stadium.

Gerrard has been out of job since his sacking at Aston Villa last year and is keen to get back into management ahead of the 2023/2024 season.

The Englishman is reportedly also on the radar of Leeds United too but Leicester are quite confident they maybe able to convince the former midfield general who impressed as head coach of Rangers to take up the mammoth challenge of returning the Foxes back to the English Premier League next season.
