FORMER NOTTINGHAM FOREST boss Steve Cooper is in advanced talks to take over at Leicester.

Maresca left the Foxes after delivering promotion to the Premier League to take over at Chelsea following Mauricio Pochettino’s departure from the London club at the end of the season.
Cooper has been biding his time to get back into work following an emotional exit from the City Ground, where he guided Forest back to the Premier League for the first time in 23 years and then kept them there.
The Leicester job will not be without its challenges as they have a possible points deduction hanging over their head and may also need to sell players during the summer to comply with the Premier League’s profit and sustainability rules.
Former Chelsea and Brighton boss Graham Potter and West Brom’s Carlos Corberan are also understood to have been considered for the role.
