In a surprising development, Leicester City’s Assistant Head Coach Marcos Alvarez has terminated his contract with immediate effect. The club announced the departure earlier today, citing personal reasons for the sudden decision.
Alvarez, who joined the Foxes in the summer of 2022, has been instrumental in supporting Head Coach Enzo Maresca in tactical planning and player development. His exit comes at a crucial juncture as Leicester City is navigating a challenging season in the Championship, striving for promotion back to the Premier League.
In an official statement, the club expressed gratitude for Alvarez’s contributions and wished him well for the future. “Marcos has been a valued member of our coaching staff, bringing expertise and dedication to our team. We respect his decision to step down due to personal reasons and wish him all the best,” the statement read.
Alvarez, known for his tactical acumen and extensive experience in European football, previously held coaching roles at several notable clubs, including Real Betis and Sevilla. His departure leaves a significant gap in Leicester City’s coaching setup, and the club is expected to announce a replacement in the coming weeks.
Fans and players alike have expressed their support for Alvarez on social media, appreciating his efforts and understanding his need to prioritize personal matters. The team will continue its campaign under the guidance of Maresca, who now faces the task of adjusting to this sudden change in the coaching staff.
Leicester City’s next fixture is against Middlesbrough, and the club hopes to maintain its momentum despite the recent upheaval. The Foxes are currently positioned just outside the playoff spots and aim to secure a return to top-flight football by the end of the season.
