Leicester City Football Club has announced the departure of First Team Manager Steve Cooper, effective immediately.
This decision comes after a series of underwhelming performances that have left the Foxes perilously close to the Premier League relegation zone.
In addition to Cooper’s exit, Assistant Manager Alan Tate and First Team Coach and Analyst Steve Rands have also left the club.
The club expressed gratitude for their contributions during their tenure and extended best wishes for their future endeavors.
During this transitional period, First Team Coach Ben Dawson will oversee training sessions, with support from coaches Danny Alcock and Andy Hughes. The club has initiated the search for a new manager and aims to finalize the appointment promptly.
Steve Cooper’s tenure at Leicester City began in June 2024, following the club’s promotion from the Sky Bet Championship.
Despite his previous success with Nottingham Forest, where he secured promotion to the Premier League and maintained their top-flight status, Cooper struggled to replicate similar achievements at Leicester.
The team’s recent form, including a 3-0 defeat to Manchester United and a 1-1 draw against Ipswich Town, has been a cause for concern.
The club’s leadership is now focused on identifying a successor who can steer Leicester City away from relegation threats and restore competitive performance levels.
Supporters eagerly await the announcement of a new manager who can revitalize the team’s fortunes in the Premier League.
