Brendan Rodgers leaves Leicester City by 'mutual agreement'

Brendan Rodgers has left Leicester City by 'Mutual agreement.'

The club announced the news less than 24 hours after their last gasp defeat to Crystal Palace on Saturday.

That defeat leaves the Foxes in 18th position in the Premier League table and in deep relegation danger with just 10 league games remaining.

In a statement released on Sunday afternoon, Leicester paid tribute to Rodgers, who won an FA Cup title with the Foxes in 2021, and wished him well for the future:

"Leicester City Football Club has reached a mutual agreement with Brendan Rodgers that will see him leave the Club after four years as our Men’s First Team Manager.

"Brendan departs King Power Stadium as one of the most successful managers in the Club’s history, having guided us to our long-awaited first FA Cup triumph in 2021, the FA Community Shield in the same year, two of the Club’s three highest Premier League finishes and consecutive European campaigns, including our first European semi-final in 2022.

"Assistant Manager Chris Davies and First Team Fitness Coach Glen Driscoll will also be leaving with the Club’s thanks and best wishes for their future careers.

"Immediate responsibility for Men’s First Team training and match preparation will be led by the Club’s long-serving First Team Coaches Adam Sadler and Mike Stowell."
