Promotion celebration

CHAMPIONS OF THE NPOWER CHAMPIONSHIP

Sometimes everything goes in order and make you proud of your work. This was the case at Leicester City where the team surprised everybody and won the Championship. It was incredible how the players managed to maintain their form, because let's be honest who thought we can achieve such a remarkable campaign.

 As you can see it was a long and hard season, but the team sealed some fantastic results. The main highlights were the matches again Wigan 2-0, Leeds 3-2 or Nottm Forest 4-0.

Not only the promotion but also the manner that it was realised gave me a huge satisfaction. 12 points over Wolverhampton, 16 points more that 3rd placed Brighton and 24 points above 7th placed Palace.

TOP 3 MATCHES OF THE SEASON

• LEICESTER CITY - BLACKBURN ROVERS 4-0 (23' King, Fetfatzidis 38' 87'p., Nugent 55')
• FUN FACT : this result was registered a couple days after the shocking defeat against Wolves 0-8.

SQUAD AND FINANCIAL EFFORTS

In the winter transfer period we managed to make some big efforts and sign three players that were already with us on loan : Marco Torsiglieri (DC), Maxime Lestienne (AML) and Giannis Feftatzidis (AMR)

• MARCO TORSIGLIERI

Marco joined the Foxes in the summer of 2012 from Metalist on loan and after some brilliant performances convinced everybody at King Power Stadium to bid 2.000.000 euros and sign him in the winter transfer period.

Marco was the best central defender this season with an average rating of 7.53 and of course, one of the main reasons Leicester won the title. Thanks Marco and we hope that you'll maintain this performances in the  Premier League as well.

• MAXIME LESTIENNE

Same case for the player from Belgium Maxime Lestienne who arrived at Leicester City first on loan from Clubbe Brugge. In the winter transfer period the Foxes made a bid of 2.200.000 euro and signed the player.

Maxime proved to be one of the best players in the squad. He was faultless in the left winger position were he supplied the strikers with more that useful passes.

• GIANNIS FETFATZIDIS

And below we have all the transfers that we made this season at King Power Stadium:

UNTOUCHABLE SEAT

As expected the board is jubilant after the run we had this season, also I am happy with the squad harmony the club has.

FINANCES - INSECURE

From the financial point of view I have some concerns. The balance is as low as it can get and I'm afraid that will effect next seasons budgets.
