Claude Puel (LCFC Manager)

-

Leicester City announced the appointment of Claude Puel as the Club’s new First Team Manager on 25 October, 2017.

The 56-year-old Frenchman arrived at King Power Stadium with a wealth of experience at élite levels of the game, having managed teams in France’s Ligue 1, the Premier League and the UEFA Champions League, signing a contract to June 2020.

The former AS Monaco, Lyon and Southampton manager is supported by Assistant Managers Pascal Plancque and Michael Appleton.

SAINTS
Claude is familiar with the challenges of Premier League football, having led Southampton to an eighth-placed finish during the 2016/17 season, while managing both a UEFA Europa League campaign and a run to the EFL Cup Final against Manchester United.

MONACO
He began his managerial career with AS Monaco – the club he represented nearly 500 times in Ligue 1 as a combative midfielder – taking the reins in 1999 and winning Le Championnat a year later, adding to the two titles he won in the principality as a player.

After 24 years with Monaco, Puel began a six-year spell with Lille, whom he guided to a highest-ever Ligue 1 finish as runners-up in 2005, followed by third place in 2006.

LYON
That success persuaded Lyon to come calling for his services in 2008 and he continued to build his impressive reputation with a top-three finish in each of his three seasons in charge of the French giants.

While impressing domestically, it was in the UEFA Champions League where Puel’s tactical acumen was turning heads across Europe.

Having locked horns with Sir Alex Ferguson’s Manchester United in the competition during his time at Lille, Puel steered Lyon into the semi-finals in 2010 – masterminding a 2-1 aggregate win over Real Madrid along the way.

NICE
Immediately prior to joining Southampton, Puel was able to deliver two fourth-placed finishes in four seasons as manager of Nice, with current City midfielder Nampalys Mendy among the ranks.

LEICESTER CITY
Puel took charge of his first game as City boss on Sunday 29 October, leading his side to a 2-0 Premier League win over Everton.

http://ricerca.repubblica.it/repubblica/archivio/repubblica/1990/01/31/patrizia-otto-anni-sequestrata.html di ROBERTO BIANCHIN, la Repubblica, mercoledì 31 gennaio 1990 VERONA - Vado a prendermi una merendina, ha detto alla mamma. Ed è sparita nella nebbia. Patrizia Tacchella, nove anni a maggio, figlia del boss dell'impero dei jeans (Carrera, Vagabond, Fiorucci) è scomparsa da lunedì pomeriggio [29 gennaio 1990, nda]. Un altro sequestro di persona o il folle gesto di un maniaco? L'ha portata via un uomo coi baffi , dice un compagno di scuola della bambina. Gli inquirenti non si sbilanciano e la famiglia dice che finora non è giunta alcuna richiesta di riscatto. La solida fortuna della famiglia Tacchella, leader nel settore dell'abbigliamento, sembra però lasciare poco spazio ai dubbi. Patrizia Tacchella è sparita alle quattro e mezza del pomeriggio di lunedì a pochi metri da casa, a Stallavena di Grezzana, un paesino di 8 mila abitanti ad una decina di chilom

These B-More natives all made it to the NBA and enjoyed success . From Carmelo's superstardom to Cassell's rings to Dixon's solid play and NCAA chip to Muggsy's stature and playing in the land of giants, each of these players are unique to the league and unique to the city. And just like Dunbar's famed high school basketball program, the playgrounds and streets of East Baltimore are famous for breeding awesome basketball players.  Some say the greatest ever to come out of B-More was Allen Harper Wise Jr. aka Skip Wise . "He was one of the best dudes to come out of East Lafayette projects," says Choke, Skip Wise's homeboy. "I was like 13 when I met him. He
