Leicester City have sacked manager Claude Puel following a poor run of form that has seen them slide down the Premier League. The 57-year-old Frenchman’s final match in charge was Saturday’s 4-1 home defeat to Crystal Palace, when speaking after the game he asked the fans to stick by him.
That was Leicester’s sixth defeat in their last seven matches, a run that has seen them knocked out of the FA Cup by Newport and drop down to 12th in the Premier League and eight points above the relegation zone.
