Cooper, who had been unemployed since being fired by Nottingham Forest in December 2023, signed a deal with Leicester last week. He succeeds Enzo Maresca, who departed to join Chelsea.

Cooper, who left East Midlands rivals Nottingham Forest six months ago, is returning to the Premier League.

He faces a tremendous job to guarantee that City’s first season back in the top league is a success.

Hughes has helped Norwich City become one of the more successful teams in recent years from set-piece scenarios after joining David Wagner’s coaching staff.

The former Reading and Leeds United player is a popular figure in the game. He is anticipated to leave his employment with Norwich City.

Last season, the Canaries were the second division’s third-best offensive squad, scoring 18 goals while conceding 12 in defensive dead ball situations.
