Premier League News: Brendan Rodgers sacked by Leicester City

-

 Leicester City have sacked manager Brendan Rodgers following a 2-1 defeat by Crystal Palace.

Rodgers was appointed in February 2019 and led the club to its first FA Cup triumph in 2021. 

However, their recent form has been really poor and they now face a battle to stay in the Premier League. 

In a statement on the club website, chairman Aiyawatt Srivaddhanaprabha said performances and results this season have been below expectations. The statement reads: "It had been our belief that continuity and stability would be key to correcting our course, particularly given our previous achievements under Brendan's management.

"Regrettably, the desired improvement has not been forthcoming and with 10 games of the season remaining, the board is compelled to take alternative action to protect our Premier League status."

He led Leicester to consecutive fifth-place finishes in his first two full seasons as Foxes boss. He also lifted the FA Cup in 2021.

Kieran is a Leicester fan who was concerned about the developments at the club. He said: "The performances haven't been great all season. However, I'd argue that Rodgers would have been the best man to get us out of the situation."

DarthRobby1 tweeted: "This is not the correct decision in my opinion, changing the manager doesn't always fix things. Brendan was excellent at Leicester. Fans must not forget what he won and accomplished. Remember this tweet when they don't play any better."

Rebecca disagreed with the sentiments above and believes this is the correct decision. She said: "This is the correct move from the board above. I wasn't confident that Rodgers was going to get us out of this mess."

There has been a managerial change at Old Trafford. Manchester United have sacked manager Erik ten Hag due to the club's disappointing start to the season. Author - Olivia T Ten Hag's last match ended in a 2-1 defeat against West Ham , leaving the club in 14th place in the Premier League with only three wins from their first nine matches. The Red Devils are also 21st of 36 teams in the Europa League league stage, having drawn their three opening matches. Club sources from the club have reportedly suggested that this was a difficult decision but a unanimous one among all the key decision makers.  The club exercised a one-year extension in Ten Hag's contract after their FA Cup final win against Manchester City in May . However, just over three months later, he has been dismissed. United currently sit on 11 points after nine games, marking their second-lowest tally in the Premier League at this stage (only slightly better than the 10 points they had in the 2019-20 season)

Manchester United 5 - 2 Leicester City  Ruud van Nistelrooy began his tenure as Manchester United’s interim manager on a high, with his team cruising past Leicester to secure a spot in the Carabao Cup quarter-finals. Author - Olivia T Just two days after stepping in following Erik ten Hag's dismissal , Van Nistelrooy’s call for an exciting performance was more than delivered by his players. Casemiro got the party started with a stunning long-range strike and went on to score again before half-time. After an initial header rattled off both posts, the Brazilian reacted quickly to slot the ball in from eight yards out. Alejandro Garnacho contributed his fifth goal of the season , and captain Bruno Fernandes had a bit of luck with his free-kick, which deflected off Leicester’s James Justin and into the net. Defensively, United weren’t flawless. Some familiar issues allowed Bilal El Khannouss and Conor Coady to pull goals back for Leicester before the break. Coady’s finish, a firs
