Leicester have parted company with boss Brendan Rodgers as they battle to stay in the Premier League.
The Foxes dropped into the bottom three after Saturday’s last-gasp 2-1 defeat at Crystal Palace, which extended their winless run to six games.
Rodgers, 50, delivered two top-five finishes and the club’s first FA Cup success in 2021 but leaves by mutual consent after four years at the helm.
Chairman Aiyawatt Srivaddhanaprabha said: “Performances and results during the current season have been below our shared expectations.
“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.
“The task ahead of us in our final 10 games is clear. We now need to come together — fans, players and staff — and show the poise, quality and fight to secure our position as a Premier League club.”
Rodgers’ assistant Chris Davies and first-team fitness coach Glen Driscoll have also left Leicester.
First-team coaches Adam Sadler and Mike Stowell have been put in temporary charge ahead of Tuesday’s crunch clash with Aston Villa.
Srivaddhanaprabha added: “The achievements of the team under Brendan’s management speak for themselves.Â
