Leicester City Parts Ways with Manager Marti Cifuentes

Leicester City has dismissed Marti Cifuentes from his managerial role after a string of underwhelming performances in the second-tier Championship.

The team, positioned 14th and six points from promotion contention, secured just a single win under Cifuentes from September to October. A recent defeat against Oxford United sealed his fate.

Chairman Aiyawatt Srivaddhanaprabha expressed the decision's difficulty, emphasizing the need for improved outcomes. The 2015-16 Premier League champions were relegated last season.
