Leicester City Dismisses Manager Steve Cooper

Leicester City has dismissed manager Steve Cooper after a subpar run left the team 16th in the Premier League, two points above the relegation zone. Despite scoring in nearly every game, defensive issues have plagued the team, resulting in only two wins from their first 12 matches. Cooper, who previously succeeded at Nottingham Forest, struggled to win over Leicester's players and fans, further complicated by his past association with their rivals. His departure follows a 2-1 defeat to Chelsea, managed by his predecessor Enzo Maresca. Potential replacements include Graham Potter and David Moyes. Leicester's leadership, led by chairman Aiyawatt Srivaddhanaprabha, took the decision after observing internal discontent and the team's performance against Chelsea firsthand.
