Leicester City Dismisses Steve Cooper After Disappointing Start to Premier League Season
The manager departs after just 12 games in charge, with Leicester sitting two points above the relegation zone.
- Steve Cooper was sacked by Leicester City following a 2-1 home defeat to Chelsea on Saturday.
- The club is currently 16th in the Premier League table, with only two wins from 12 matches this season.
- Cooper, who replaced Enzo Maresca in June, faced fan skepticism due to his prior ties with Nottingham Forest.
- Assistant manager Alan Tate and first-team coach Steve Rands have also left the club, with Ben Dawson taking interim charge.
- Leicester, promoted last season, struggled with limited resources to strengthen their squad for top-flight competition.
