Leicester City has officially parted ways with manager Steve Cooper following a disappointing start to the Premier League season. The decision came just after 12 matches, during which the club has struggled to find consistent form.

Currently sitting in 16th position within the 20-team league, Leicester is only two points clear of the relegation zone. They have managed to secure victories in just two of their matches since the season began, a performance that ultimately led to Cooper’s dismissal.

Cooper, who took over the managerial role from Enzo Maresca in the off-season, had a brief tenure of five months at the helm. His last outing as manager ended in a 2-1 defeat against Chelsea, which likely sealed his fate at the club. The search for a new manager will now commence as Leicester aims to stabilize their campaign and avoid falling into the relegation zone.
