Brendan Rodgers sacked by Leicester City

Leicester City have confirmed that manager Brendan Rodgers has left the club.

The Foxes dropped to 18th in the Premier League table following a horrid run of results in recent months.

With the threat of relegation looming, Leicester confirmed on Sunday that they have made the decision to part ways with Rodgers, who won the club their first ever FA Cup back in 2021.

Leicester said in a statement: “Leicester City Football Club has reached a mutual agreement with Brendan Rodgers that will see him leave the Club after four years as our Men’s First Team Manager.

“Brendan departs King Power Stadium as one of the most successful managers in the Club’s history, having guided us to our long-awaited first FA Cup triumph in 2021, the FA Community Shield in the same year, two of the Club’s three highest Premier League finishes and consecutive European campaigns, including our first European semi-final in 2022.

“Assistant Manager Chris Davies and First Team Fitness Coach Glen Driscoll will also be leaving with the Club’s thanks and best wishes for their future careers.

“Immediate responsibility for Men’s First Team training and match preparation will be led by the Club’s long-serving First Team Coaches Adam Sadler and Mike Stowell.”
