Leicester City has sacked Brendan Rodgers as its head coach following a series of disappointing results in the Premier League. Rodgers had been in charge since February 2019 and had led the club to some significant achievements, including their first-ever FA Cup win in 2021.
According to the club's chairman, performances and results this season have been below their expectations, and despite their previous successes under Rodgers, the desired improvement has not been forthcoming. With only ten games left in the season, the board felt compelled to take alternative action to protect their Premier League status.
While Rodgers had led Leicester City to consecutive fifth-place finishes in his first two full seasons, the team struggled in the current campaign, losing seven of their first ten Premier League games and dropping to the bottom of the table. They showed some signs of improvement before the World Cup break, with four wins in five games, but have struggled since the season resumed, collecting only seven points from a possible 33.
The club's statement emphasizes the need for fans, players, and staff to come together and fight to secure their position as a Premier League club for the remainder of the season. It remains to be seen who will take over as head coach at Leicester City and whether they can turn the team's fortunes around in the remaining games of the campaign.
