Former QPR coach Yang Min-hyuk's coach countdown to Leicester City's appointment

Jul 15, 2025

[London (UK) = Egan Sports Chosun.COM Reporter] Leicester City has reached a compensation agreement with QPR (Queens Park Rangers) to appoint Marty Cifuentes. The compensation is said to be around £500,000. Although Cifuentes himself expressed his intention to pay for half of it, the final negotiations were concluded through official procedures between the clubs.

Leicester suffered administrative delays in Cifuentes's new visa over the weekend, according to Sky Sports, but it expects to complete all procedures and formalise the appointment of the coach before leaving Austria's training camp on Wednesday.

Spanish Cifuentes was recognized for his leadership by successfully staying in the championship last season in charge of QPR. He also coached Yang Min-hyuk, who came on loan from Tottenham to QPR. Leicester appreciate his tactical ability and organisation in preparing for his first season back in the top flight.

When the manager's appointment and administrative procedures are completed, Cifuentes will work with the team in earnest at the Austrian camp to prepare for the 2024-2025 season.
