Leicester City announced on the 25th (Korea time) that Steve Cooper would immediately step down as the team's first-team manager. On the 23rd, the match against Chelsea, which lost 1-2 in the 13th round of the English Premier League (EPL) in 2024-2025 season, remained a farewell match.
The reason seems to be poor performance. Leicester are in 16th place with only two wins, four draws and six losses and 10 points in 12 games.
Coach Cooper, who led Swansea City and Nottingham Forest, resigned in disgrace five months after taking the helm of Leicester in June.
Cooper was replaced by Nunu Espiritu Santo after being replaced by Nottingham Forest in December during the last season.

Cooper succeeded Ten Hach, who was replaced by Manchester United in October, as the coach '2' who was replaced by EPL this season.
United quickly appointed new manager Ruben Amorim, who successfully led Sporting.
Leicester is famous in Korea as a team that has dedicated many goals to Asia's top star Son Heung-min (Tottenham).
Son Heung-min, who joined Tottenham in 2015, has scored 10 goals and made five goals against Leicester so far.
