Super Eagles midfield star Wilfred Ndidi will play under a new manager after Leicester City confirmed they have sacked Steve Cooper.
The Foxes confirmed the sack in a statement on their website on Sunday.
Cooper took charge for the final time on Saturday, with Leicester beaten at home by Chelsea in the Premier League.
The 44-year-old leaves with Leicester 16th in the table, just two points above the relegation zone after being promoted under Enzo Maresca last season.
“Leicester City Football Club has parted company with Steve Cooper, who leaves his position as First Team Manager with immediate effect,” the club announced.
“Assistant Manager Alan Tate and First Team Coach and Analyst Steve Rands have also left the Club. Steve, Alan and Steve depart with our thanks for their contribution during their time with the Club and with our best wishes for the future.
“Men’s First Team training will be overseen by First Team Coach Ben Dawson, supported by coaches Danny Alcock and Andy Hughes, as the Club begins the process of appointing a new manager, which we hope to conclude as soon as possible.”
