Leicester have confirmed the appointment of Paulo Sousa as their new manager. The 39-year-old former Portugal midfielder left his post with Swansea by mutual consent on Monday in order to open talks with the Foxes, who have been looking for a new boss following Nigel Pearson's departure to Hull City. Sousa, who also counts QPR among his former clubs, said: "I am delighted to be here, it is a great club with great supporters and a rich history and I am very excited by the challenge. "The club has a fantastic stadium with great facilities and I am very much looking forward to working with the players."
