After 12 Premier League games and just two wins (they have 10 points, although they are out of relegation), Leicester City has announced the dismissal of Steve Cooper as the club’s coach.
This was the statement from the English club:
“Leicester City Football Club has sacked Steve Cooper, who leaves his position as first-team coach with immediate effect.
Assistant manager Alan Tate and first-team coach and analyst Steve Rands have also left the club. Steve, Alan and Steve leave with our thanks for their contribution during their time at the club and our best wishes for the future.
“Men’s First Team training will be overseen by coach Ben Dawson, supported by coaches Danny Alcock and Andy Hughes, while the Club begins the process of appointing a new manager, which we hope to conclude as soon as possible.”
Cooper, let us remember, arrived at Leicester to take Enzo Maresca’s place after the Italian’s promotion and departure to Chelsea.
