Leicester City sacked manager Marti Cifuentes on Jan 25 after six months in charge with the team 14th in the second-tier Championship, six points below the top six who are battling for promotion to the Premier League.
They won only one match between September and October under former Queens Park Rangers manager Cifuentes. Leicester are winless in their last three matches, and Jan 24’s 2-1 loss to relegation-threatened Oxford United proved to be the last straw for the Spaniard.
“This has been a difficult decision and not one I have taken lightly... however, I believe this is the right step at this time to improve performances and results," Leicester Chairman Aiyawatt Srivaddhanaprabha said in a statement.
