Leicester City sacks coaches amid relegation fears

Leicester City Football Club has parted ways with first-team coaches Ben Dawson and Danny Alcock following a demoralizing 4-0 defeat to Brentford, leaving the team five points adrift of safety in the Premier League. The coaching changes come amid a dire run of form, with the club losing 10 of their last 11 league matches under manager Ruud van Nistelrooy, who took charge in November. Despite the upheaval, van Nistelrooy remains in his position, emphasizing the challenge of competing with better teams and acknowledging the uphill battle to avoid relegation. The club expressed gratitude to Dawson and Alcock for their contributions while they were part of the coaching staff since the start of the season. The Foxes currently sit second-to-bottom in the league, with only 12 matches remaining to secure their top-flight status. The situation has sparked fears among fans of a swift return to the Championship after just one season in the Premier League.
