League Two survival bid excites Foxes title winner
PREMIER League winner Christian Fuchs says Leicester's WhatsApp champions group "exploded" after the Austrian became manager of the EFL's bottom club Newport.
Fuchs has swapped "beautiful" Charlotte in North Carolina and the MLS — where two months ago he was part of a coaching group getting the better of Lionel Messi's Inter Miami — for a Welsh winter and the scrap to survive.
It is a decision that has brought bewilderment from former teammates, including Jamie Vardy and Kasper Schmeichel, who were responsible for arguably football's greatest fairy tale when Leicester won the Premier League in 2016.
"I like the challenge," said former fullback Fuchs after taking charge of a team propping up League Two and five points from safety.
