Leicester City

Leicester City has officially announced the dismissal of head coach Steve Cooper. The training duties will temporarily be handled by Ben Dawson as the club begins its search for a permanent replacement.

Leicester’s dismal start to the Premier League season saw the team accumulate just 10 points from their opening 12 matches, leaving them in 16th place on the table. The final straw was a narrow 1-2 defeat to Chelsea, marking the fifth consecutive game without a win—a run that yielded only one point.

Cooper’s Short-Lived Tenure

Cooper took charge of Leicester at the start of the season, following the departure of Enzo Maresca, who left the Foxes to join Chelsea. Despite high expectations, Cooper’s reign failed to deliver the desired results, leading to mounting pressure from fans and management alike.

Leicester now faces a critical juncture as they look to stabilize their season and avoid slipping further down the Premier League standings. The appointment of a new manager will be pivotal to their ambitions of climbing out of the lower half of the table.
