Brendan Rodgers breaks silence on Leicester exit and makes his feelings perfectly clear

A "disappointed" Brendan Rodgers has spoken publicly for the first time since being sacked by Leicester, claiming that he'd have kept the club in the Premier League.

Rodgers, 50, was sacked by the Foxes on Sunday, the day after a dramatic 2-1 defeat away to Crystal Palace in which Leicester conceded in the 94th minute, leaving them second bottom of the table and without a win from their last six league games.

The Northern Irish manager had been in charge at the King Power Stadium for more than four years, achieving back-to-back fifth-place finishes and memorably winning the FA Cup by beating Chelsea at Wembley in 2021.
