Leicester City are in a disappointing 19th place in the Premier League after 28 matchdays. So the club management intervened by putting manager Brendan Rodgers aside.
A difficult decision according to chairman Aiyawatt Srivaddhanaprabha. “His performance speaks for itself. Under Rodgers, Leicester played great football and won historic trophies: the FA Cup and Community Shield in 2021.”
“He also helped develop the club off the field. He showed leadership in difficult times of the corona pandemic.”
“But this year the performance was below par,” the statement on the website continues. “With 10 games left, we as a board must act to maintain our status as a Premier League club.”
The laws of the Premier League are tough. Leicester Belgians Youri Tielemans, Timothy Castagne and Dennis Praet will soon receive a new T1.
