Leicester City have parted ways with Coach Brendan Rodgers, after series of defeats they suffered in the current football season.
This was disclosed by the club, via a statement on its official website on Sunday.
Part of the statement said, “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.”
Also speaking, Leicester City Chairman, Aiyawatt Srivaddhanaprabha said: “The achievements of the team under Brendan’s management speak for themselves – we’ve experienced some of our finest footballing moments under his guidance and will always be grateful to him and his staff for the heights they helped us to reach on the pitch.”
The Foxes dropped into the relegation zone, after conceding late to lose 2-1 at Crystal Palace on Saturday, which extended their winless run to six games.
Rodgers recently celebrated four years in charge at the King Power.
