Leicester City coach Ruud van Nistelrooy bowed his head. Leicester City's second-division relegation in one season has entered the countdown.
Leicester City was completely defeated 0-3 in the 31st round of the English Premier League (EP) in the 2024-2025 season against Newcastle United at King Power Stadium in Leicester, England on the 8th (Korea time).
Newcastle scored 53 points to push Manchester City (52 points) to sixth place and secure the fifth place, while Leicester City remained 19th with 17 points and booked the second leg. The relegation of the lowest-ranked Southampton (10 points) has already been confirmed.
Leicester City is 15 points apart from 17th-ranked Wolverhampton (32 points), which is the remaining Maginot line. There are seven remaining EPL matches. Unless there is a major reversal, the relegation is likely to be confirmed within two to three rounds.
Leicester City have been a series of humiliation. The joys and sorrows were mixed early on. Jacob Murphy scored the first goal two minutes into the game for Newcastle. Murphy scored his second goal in the 11th minute of the first half to complete the multi-goal, and Harvey Barnes shook the third net in the 34th minute of the first half.

Fans lamented on social media, saying 'The biggest hurt is the lack of fighting spirit and effort that no one cares about', 'Just give up at this point', 'Shame on every aspect on and off the field'.
Leicester City were mired in an eight-game losing streak in the EPL after beating Tottenham 2-1 on January 26. What's more painful is that the score is 'zero' during the eight consecutive losses.
Leicester City have re-advised to the EPL this season. However, Enzo Maresca, who posted it as EPL, changed his words to Chelsea's head coach. Former Nottingham Forest manager Stepper Cooper filled the vacancy. However, in 12 games, the number of points was only 10 (2 wins, 4 draws and 6 losses). A dark cloud of demotion loomed.
Leicester City pulled the sword early on. Cooper was fired on November 25 last year. Coach Cooper, who was appointed as Leicester City's head coach in June last year, stepped down after five months.

Van Nistelrooy took his place. He led four games as an acting coach and recorded three wins and one draw, presenting a turnaround. Coach Ten Hach's departure was filled by head coach Ruben Amorim. His term began on November 11. Manchester United legend Van Nistelrooy was ousted the day after Amorim arrived in Manchester.
The gap was not long. Leicester City took Van Nistelrooy's hand. He returned to the EPL after two weeks. It was a fantastic start. Van Nysteroy won 3-1 in his head coach's debut against West Ham on 4 December. But the joy was 'nice 'nice.
After one win and one draw, he lost seven consecutive games in the EPL, and after one win, he lost eight consecutive games again. He had only two wins, one draw and 15 losses in the league. There is also no hope for Leicester City.
