BBC just recently reported <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.bbc.com\/sport\/football\/articles\/cp3k7klye1xo\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Danny Rohl<\/a><\/strong> had agreed to come back to Sheffield Wednesday. Surprisingly he is said to take charge again and stay on as their manager.<\/p>\n<p>Danny Rohl looks at this point to be completely out of the picture to become the next Leicester manager. There are talks today linking <strong>Marti Cifuentes<\/strong> strongly with the job. But still no confirmation from Leicester about anything.<\/p>\n<p>Norwegian press today describes this appointment as a done deal. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thesun.co.uk\/sport\/35766122\/leicester-manager-replacement-cifuentes-qpr-compensation\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>The Sun<\/strong><\/a> follows up as well as Talk Sport. It surely looks close. However, the rumours regarding Chris Wilder, Gary O\u2019Neil and Danny Rohl were also strong. Several sources suggested these individuals would likely become the next Leicester manager. This was just 48 hours ago.<\/p>\n<p>Why all this talk reach the public eye is strange. First, it looks as if they are close to agreeing a deal with Leicester. Then, minutes later, they are not likely to do so.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-dnt=\"true\" align=\"center\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Leicester are negotiating with QPR for the release of assistant boss Xavier Calm who was assistant to Mart\u00ed Cifuentes at Loftus Road with the duo set to link up again at the King Power. <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/LCFC?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">#LCFC<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/QPR?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">#QPR<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/9pzt6LZIbH\">pic.twitter.com\/9pzt6LZIbH<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Pete O&#8217;Rourke (@SportsPeteO) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/SportsPeteO\/status\/1942678905418309711?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">July 8, 2025<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Leicester are said to negotiate a deal to also land Marti Cifunetes assistant <strong>Xavier Calm<\/strong>.
