Brendan Rodgers leaves Leicester City: A look at his successful four-year spell

Brendan Rodgers has left his role as manager of Leicester City after four years in charge of the club.

Jean-Philippe Mateta's 94th-minute goal for Crystal Palace sunk Leicester to a 2-1 loss, plunging them into the relegation zone of the Premier League.

The loss on Saturday to a fellow relegation rival has left Leicester with five defeats in the last six games, leaving them 19^th in the table and one point off safety.

According to skysports.com, Leicester City's club statement said, "Leicester City Football Club has reached a mutual agreement with Brendan Rodgers that will see him leave the club after four years as our men's first team manager."

Rodgers leaves Leicester as one of the most excellent managers in their history, leading them to FA Cup, Community Shield silverware, and the club's first-ever European semi-final in 2022.

Brendan Rodgers and Graham Potters' sackings are the 12th and 13^th this season, Making it three more in-season departures than any other Premier League season.

Let's look back at Rodgers' (mostly) successful four years at the helm of 'The Foxes.'

Brendan Rodgers was appointed as Leicester City's manager in February 2019 following the sacking of Claude Puel.

Rodgers was appointed off the back of his time with Scottish giants Celtic, winning two Scottish Premierships, two Scottish Cups, and three Scottish League Cups in three years.

Other than the year Leicester won the league in 2016, Brendan Rodgers was instrumental in keeping the team towards the top of the table and challenging for Europe.

The Northern Irish manager guided Leicester to two fifth-place Premier League finishes in his first two seasons as Leicester manager and consolidated them in eighth in his last full year.

In his spell with the club, Rodgers created history, leading his Leicester side to the club's first-ever FA Cup success after the club had lost in four previous FA Cup finals.

Leicester beat Premier League Brighton, Manchester United, and Southampton on the way to the 2021 FA Cup final against Chelsea. Leicester's Youri Tielemans top corner strike was enough for 'The Foxes' to win 1-0.

Despite leading Leicester to their first-ever FA Cup and Community Shield success, Rodgers created history by taking the team to their first-ever European semi-final in 2022.

After finishing third in their Europa League group, Leicester was put into the UEFA Conference League knockout rounds. They beat Randers, Rennes, and PSV Eindhoven before losing to Jose Mourinho's Roma 2-1 on aggregate in the semi-final.

After a lack of investment in the squad at the start of the 2022-23 season, Leicester opened the season, losing seven of the first ten games, slumping them to the bottom of the league.

The team continued to struggle after the World Cup break, and Rodgers mutually agreed to terminate his contract on the 2^nd of April, 2023.
