Ayew and Fatawu to work under new manager as Leicester dismiss Cifuentes
Black Stars duo Jordan Ayew and Abdul Fatawu Issahaku are set to work under a new manager following Leicester City’s dismissal of Marti Cifuentes.
The Spanish gaffer was sacked after six months at the helm, following a 2-1 defeat to Oxford United in the English Championship.
The Foxes, who have now suffered 11 losses in 29 league matches, sit 14th with 38 points, just shy of the play-off spots.
"This has been a difficult decision and not one I have taken lightly," Leicester chairman Aiyawatt Srivaddhanaprabha said in a statement.
"I would like to thank Marti [Cifuentes] for the total commitment he has shown during his time at Leicester City. He gave everything to the role and worked tirelessly to help us achieve our targets."
Former player Andy King will be in charge temporarily until a new manager is appointed.
He begins his reign against Charlton Athletic at the King Power Stadium on January 31.
Ayew has netted five times and provided three assists, while Fatawu has scored six goals, coupled with seven assists, as both hope to be part of the new gaffer’s plans going forward.
