Brendan Rodgers has parted company Leicester City by mutual agreement.
The Foxes dropped into the bottom three after Saturday’s last-gasp defeat at Crystal Palace.
It was a sixth game in a row without a win for Leicester.

The Carnlough man made the move to the King Power Stadium in 2019 after three successful years in charge at Celtic.
The 50-year-old won two league titles, two Scottish Cups and three League Cup during his time in Glasgow.
He started well with the Foxes leading them to two top five finishes and securing the club’s first ever FA Cup success in 2021.
It has been a struggle for them this season though after a number of high profile players departed in the summer.
They started the campaign terribly, losing six of their first seven games, before picking up form.
Saturday's defeat leaves them in deep relegation trouble.
Chairman Aiyawatt Srivaddhanaprabha said in a statement: “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.
“The task ahead of us in our final 10 games is clear. We now need to come together – fans, players and staff – and show the poise, quality and fight to secure our position as a Premier League club.”
