Leicester City has announced the sacking of their manager, Brendan Rodgers. This decision came after the team’s poor performance, including five defeats in their last six Premier League matches, which saw them drop into the relegation places. Their most recent defeat was a 2-1 loss to Crystal Palace on Saturday, which proved to be the final straw for Rodgers.
Brendan Rodgers was appointed as Leicester City’s manager in February 2019, and during his tenure, he led the club to its first-ever FA Cup triumph in 2021. Despite this achievement, the club’s chairman, Aiyawatt Srivaddhanaprabha, released a statement explaining that the team’s recent performances and results have been “below our shared expectations.”
The decision to relieve Rodgers of his managerial duties was not taken lightly. The Leicester City Football Club recognizes and appreciates Rodgers’ significant contribution to the team’s success during his tenure. Still, they believe it is time for a change to improve their results and achieve their goals for the remainder of the season.
The club will begin its search for a new manager soon. In the meantime, assistant manager Chris Davies and First Team Coach Kolo Toure will lead the team’s training sessions and preparations for their upcoming matches.
