Everton FC cult figure Preki tipped for remarkable Premier League return

The man known as Pedrag Radosavljevic installed as favourite for Leicester City job

Preki, or Predrag Radosavljević to be more precise, became something of a cult figure during his two-year stay at Goodison Park. Howard Kendall purchased the winger from St. Louis Storm for £100,000. He played for the US national team on 28 occasions.

Everton cult hero Preki could be set for a remarkable return to the Premier League – as manager of Leicester City.

The Serbian-born former United States international spent two years at Goodison after being signed by Howard Kendall in the summer of 1992.

Preki, now 52, is leaving his role as head coach of US third tier side Sacramento Republic after their weekend game against LA Galaxy II.

And a statement from the club said he had accepted a position in the United Kingdom, with Preki quoted as saying: “This was not a decision I made lightly.

“The opportunity ahead is a lifetime dream for me and a chance to challenge myself at the highest level of the game.”
