Brendan was hired as Leicester’s manager in February 2019, and with him, the Foxes finished twice in the 5th place and lifted a trophy – FA Cup in 2021.
However, the club is now in the relegation zone and lost 5 of its last 6 matches in the league.
Yesterday was the last game of Rodgers as head coach of Leicester when he was defeated by Crystal Palace 2-1 after Palace scored in the last minute of the extra time.
The team’s achievements under Brendan’s management speak for themselves — we’ve experienced some of our finest footballing moments under his guidance and will always be grateful to him and his staff for the heights they helped us reach on the pitch,” chairman Srivaddhanaprabha published.
