The club statement read: “Leicester City Football Club has reached a mutual agreement with Brendon Rodgers that will see him leave the Club after four years as our Men’s first Team Manager.â€
“Brendan departs King Power Stadium as one of the most successful managers in the Club’s history, having guided us to our long-awaited first FA Cup triumph in 2021, the FA Community Shield in the same year, two of the Club’s three highest Premier League finishes and consecutive European campaigns, including our first European semi-final in 2022.â€
It is believed that First-team coaches Adam Sadler and Mike Stowell will take ‘immediate responsibility’ for managing the team ahead of their midweek clash against Aston Villa.
