EPL: Brendan Rodgers sacked by Leicester City

Brendan Rodgers

Leicester City have sacked manager Brendan Rodgers, with the club facing relegation this summer.

Rodgers was fired the day after their 2-1 loss at Crystal Palace.

As a result, the Foxes have slipped into the bottom three with 10 games remaining.

Leicester announced on Sunday that a “mutual agreement” had been reached with the 50-year-old, who had been in charge since February 2019.

Rodgers departs with coaches Chris Davies and Glen Driscoll.

This means goalkeeping coach Mike Stowell and first-team coach Adam Sadler will take charge of their fixture against Aston Villa at King Power Stadium on Tuesday.

Rodgers led the club to consecutive fifth-placed finishes in 2020 and 2021 and won the FA Cup for the first time in their history two years ago.
