In an exclusive interview with BBC Radio Leicester’s When You’re Smiling podcast, former Leicester City winger Matt Piper praised the adaptability of new manager Steve Cooper. According to Piper, Cooper has a unique ability to change systems, styles, and tactics to achieve results based on his previous stints at Swansea and Nottingham Forest.
Piper compared Cooper to Enzo Maresca, emphasizing his flexible approach compared to a rigid playing style. He acknowledged that there might be some concern among Leicester fans about Cooper’s past connection with Nottingham Forest but highlighted the importance of focusing on results on the pitch rather than dwelling on history.
Piper expressed confidence in Cooper’s ability to quickly adjust tactics and strategies based on performance, which he sees as a positive trait for managing Leicester’s squad. He also speculated that if Cooper is successful in his first season at Leicester, it could bring positive energy to the team and the fans in the King Power Stadium.
Overall, Piper encouraged fans to focus on the present and the potential for success rather than dwelling on past associations or concerns about the new manager.
