Leicester promoted to Premier League! Leeds loss at QPR confirms Foxes immediate return to the top flight
Leicester’s promotion confirmed by Leeds’ 4-0 defeat to QPR on Friday night; Foxes can only be caught by Ipswich now but can take another step towards claiming Championship title with victory over Preston, live on Sky Sports Football from 7pm on Monday, kick-off 8pm
Despite Leicester still having ambitions of beating Ipswich Town to the title, Foxes stars allowed themselves time to celebrate. Even before the full-time whistle at Loftus Road, star midfielder Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall took to Twitter.
He wrote: “Right… who’s out in Leicester tonight?” The academy prospect was also at the heart of a video shared on the club’s social media channels.
However, he appeared to be enjoying somewhat more of a lowkey evening. Former Leicester midfielder Dennis Wise took to Instagram with a video showing him on a video call to Vardy and his wife Rebekah.
It was accompanied by the caption: “Congratulations to my lovely friends @vardy7, @beckyvardy @lcfc on your promotion to the PL, now you can come to the last game @comofootball to hopefully bring us luck.”
Wise is currently the president of Italian side Como, who are embroiled in their own fight to earn promotion to Serie A. They sit second in the second tier – three points behind leaders Parma with four games remaining.
Ironically, current Leicester boss Maresca was sacked by the latter in his first managerial job. His time with Leicester has certainly been more successful.
The Italian had emulated Claudio Ranieri ahead of Leicester’s promotion and promised to spend his time with his children, eating pizza. However, a photo surfaced on social media showing the ex-Man City coach surrounded by his backroom staff, each toasting Leicester’s promotion with a glass in hand.
