During his tenure, Rodgers guided Leicester City to their first-ever FA Cup triumph in 2021, the FA Community Shield in the same year, two of the Club’s three highest Premier League finishes, and consecutive European campaigns.

The club chairman, Aiyawatt Srivaddhanaprabha, praised Rodgers for his contributions to the team’s success, both on and off the pitch.

“Brendan embraced the culture of the Club and helped cultivate an outstanding developmental environment, particularly during the transition to Seagrave, and provided strong leadership during the unprecedented challenge of the coronavirus pandemic. His place in Leicester City history is assured,” Srivaddhanaprabha said.

However, the club's recent performances and results have been below expectations, and the Board felt compelled to take alternative action to protect the team’s Premier League status. With 10 games remaining in the season, the club is now focused on coming together to secure its position as a Premier League club.

Leicester City also announced that Assistant Manager Chris Davies and First Team Fitness Coach Glen Driscoll will be leaving the club along with Rodgers.

Immediate responsibility for Men’s First Team training and match preparation will be led by the Club’s long-serving First Team Coaches Adam Sadler and Mike Stowell.
