Milan Mandaric was today confirmed as the Executive Chairman of Leicester City Football Club.

Mandaric takes full control of the Foxes following an EGM to complete the formalities of the transfer of ownership.

And the new owner says he will now be concentrating all of his efforts on brining success back to the club once again.

He said: "It has taken a very long time but now we are going to be moving forward and I realise that the pressure is now on me to make this club a success.

"I want to look ahead and I will be concentrating on the playing side because that is always the most important.

"There will be decisions to be made later, on various issues on the commercial side and management structures.

"But the biggest priority is helping to strengthen the team because everything follows on from success on the field. The players have shown a real spirit and we must now continue our push forward.

"Right now, we need a couple of more wins to be sure of our safety.

"But I think we look all right in that respect and we are looking ahead already to what we can do in the summer.

"The main plans now are for next season, when we hope to be competing for promotion with some new players coming in. But that is for the future.

"I am delighted to be finally in charge here. I have had great support from everybody, especially the fans and also the shareholders, who have shown real unselfishness and dedication to the club, and I am determined to succeed for them."

Tickets remain on general sale for City's upcoming back-to-back home fixtures against Leeds United and QPR.
