Leicester City have confirmed the departure of manager Brendan Rodgers by mutual consent.
Rodgers departs Leicester after Saturday's 2-1 defeat at Crystal Palace dropped them into the relegation zone.
The Foxes had just three shots to Palace's 31 as they went a sixth straight match without a win.

Rodgers leaves after four years in charge. He won the FA Cup with them in 2020/21 and was responsible for two of the club's three highest Premier League finishes.
He also oversaw Leicester's record-breaking away win in the Premier League, beating Southampton 9-0 in 2019/20.
"The achievements of the team 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 to reach on the pitch," Chairman Aiyawatt Srivaddhanaprabha said on Leicester's official website.
"The task ahead of us in our final 10 games is clear. We now need to come together – fans, players and staff – and show the poise, quality and fight to secure our position as a Premier League club."
