Claude Puel: 'Perspective needed at Leicester City'

Manager Claude Puel claims that "perspective" is required at Leicester City as the club struggle to record points during the closing stages of the Premier League season.

Manager Claude Puel has claimed that "perspective" is needed at Leicester City, with reports suggesting that the Frenchman's future at the club remains uncertain.

Puel enjoyed an impressive start to life at the King Power Stadium, but four defeats from five Premier League games and talk of dressing room unrest has led to speculation over whether the Foxes hierarchy will act in the summer.

However, Puel has defended the club's position in the league standings and insists that he continues to look forward to a full pre-season with the team.

At a press conference, the 56-year-old told reporters: "We need perspective because we will finish in the middle of the table. A lot of teams would like to finish in our position. After we know we need to work and look forward to a full pre-season with the possibility to strengthen our squad for next season.

"Last season I finished eighth in the table and reached a cup final. This season we could finish ninth, 10th or eighth I hope, without the possibility to work in pre-season or having a full transfer window.

"We have tried to develop some young players and lay a foundation. I am looking forward and all this work is to maintain the way and then next season to have a pre-season to work with all the squad and build the squad."

Huddersfield Town boss David Moyes has been suggested as a possible replacement for Puel.
