Leicester City Fires Manager Steve Cooper

Leicester City has sacked manager Steve Cooper after a disappointing five-month tenure, following a 2-1 defeat to Chelsea that left the team 16th in the Premier League, just two points above the relegation zone. Cooper, who joined the club in June after their promotion from the Championship, managed only four wins in 14 matches. Alongside Cooper, assistant manager Alan Tate and first team coach Steve Rands have also been dismissed. The club issued a statement thanking them for their contributions and confirmed that first team training will now be overseen by coach Ben Dawson, supported by Danny Alcock and Andy Hughes. Leicester City is beginning the search for a new manager as they aim to improve their standing in the league.
