Leicester announced the sacking of manager Claude Puel yesterday following the struggling Premier League side's sixth defeat in seven games.
Saturday's 4-1 loss to Crystal Palace dropped the 2015-2016 champions to 12th, only eight points above the relegation places. A statement released by the club said: "Leicester City Football Club has today [Sunday] parted company with Claude Puel, who leaves his position as first team manager with immediate effect."
