Cooper only replaced Maresca in the summer after the Italian left for Stamford Bridge; the Welshman, formerly the Swansea City manager, had previously taken Nottingham Forest up through the Championship play-offs and had secured the first year of survival before parting company with the Reds.
Attentions for all at City now turn quickly to the hunt for their next manager. Indeed there'll be similar names which top the bookmakers' markets, which occupied those spots in the summer prior to Cooper being appointed. There remain a host of eligible candidates who the club could now look to.
Graham Potter will inevitably be linked; he remains out of work and with the England job now out of reach for the foreseeable future, Potter could look to return to club work. Also linked previously with Leicester were Carlos Corberan, who again has West Bromwich Albion directed towards a Championship top six charge, Ruud Van Nistelrooy who has recently taken interim charge of Manchester United and Lee Carsley, who has held a similar role with England.
SkyBet have published their market after Cooper's sacking was confirmed. Market correct as of 16:15 on Sunday 24th.
