LEICESTER CITY SACK HEAD COACH BRENDAN RODGERS
Brendan Rodgers’ four-year tenure as manager of Leicester has come to an end following a mutual agreement.
Leicester suffered their fifth loss in six games on Saturday as Jean-Philippe Mateta’s injury-time goal for Crystal Palace lifted them out of the relegation zone.
According to reports, Rodgers and the Leicester management held discussions on Sunday morning and decided it would be best for everyone if he left his position with immediate effect.
A club statement read: “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.”
