Leicester City have parted ways with manager Steve Cooper, with the team sitting just two points above the Premier League relegation zone. Cooper, who took charge in June following Enzo Maresca’s departure to Chelsea, won only four of his 14 matches at the helm.
Ironically, his final match ended in a 2-1 defeat at home to Chelsea, which ultimately sealed his fate, even though the club remained two places clear of the relegation zone after the loss.
“Assistant Manager Alan Tate and First Team Coach and Analyst Steve Rands have also left the Club,” the statement read.
“Steve, Alan, and Steve leave with our thanks for their contributions during their time with the Club, and we wish them all the best for the future.”
“First Team Coach Ben Dawson will oversee Men’s First Team training, supported by coaches Danny Alcock and Andy Hughes, as the Club begins the process of appointing a new manager, which we hope to finalize as soon as possible.”
