Leicester City announced on Sunday that manager Brendan Rodgers has left the club by mutual consent as they strive to preserve their Premier League status. The Foxes slipped into the relegation zone after conceding a late goal in a 2‑1 defeat to Crystal Palace on Saturday, extending their winless run to six games.

Rodgers, who recently marked four years in charge at the King Power Stadium, oversaw two top‑five Premier League finishes and guided Leicester to their first ever FA Cup triumph in 2021. In a club statement, chairman Aiyawatt Srivaddhanaprabha said: “Performances and results during the current season have been below our shared expectations. It had been our belief that continuity and stability would be key to correcting our course, particularly given our previous achievements under Brendan’s management. Regrettably, the desired improvement has not been forthcoming and, with 10 games of the season remaining, the board is compelled to take alternative action to protect our Premier League status.”

First‑team coaches Adam Sadler and Mike Stowell have been appointed as temporary caretakers.
