After Ademola Lookman's MOTM performance in the Europa League final, former Leicester City manager Brendan Rodgers explained how the Foxes missed the opportunity to sign him permanently.
Cooper has penned a three-year contract at the King Power Stadium and will lead the club as they return to the Premier League this season.But despite that, the 44-year-old is keen to get started with the newly-promoted side.
"I congratulate the players and staff on the achievements of their promotion to the Premier League. I know how hard that is. Any person who loves football can only look with great respect upon how much this club has achieved in recent years. The Premier League title of 2016 and the FA Cup of 2021 have demonstrated what’s possible for a united club. As the new manager, I don’t take that legacy lightly.
"As staff and players, it is important we play with a style that the Leicester support recognise as the very best of their club. The support of the fans will be fundamental and I am looking forward to meeting many of you over the summer. "I take the faith the club have placed in me very seriously and am committed to immersing myself in what the Club and community stands for ensuring we have success together."
