Coach Ruud van Nistelrooy failed to stop Leicester City's second-tier relegation in a season. Leicester City knelt 0-1 in the 33rd round of the English Premier League (EPL) in 2024-2025 season against Liverpool at King Power Stadium in Leicester, England on the 21st (Korea time).
Leading Liverpool scored 79 points, reducing the championship to 'Magic Number' to '1'. Liverpool will confirm its early rise to the top if it beats Tottenham in the 34th round on the 28th.
Leicester City, on the other hand, remained in 19th place with 18 points, confirming its relegation for the second time after Southampton (11 points) at the bottom. There are five remaining games, and Leicester City have 18 points difference from 17th-place West Ham (36 points), which is the remaining Maginot line.
Leicester City have been mired in a winless streak of 10 games (1 draw and 9 losses) in the EPL since beating Tottenham 2-1 on January 26. 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.

The gap was not long. Leicester City took the hand of Van Nistelrooy, who recorded 3 wins and 1 draw as Manchester United's acting coach. He returned to the EPL after two weeks. The start was a fantasy. Van Nistelrooy won 3-1 in his head coach's debut against West Ham on 4 December. But the joy was 'Just in time'.
After one win and one draw, he lost seven consecutive games in the EPL, and after one win, he lost eight consecutive games, followed by one draw and one loss. He had only two wins, two draws and 16 losses in the league.
Van Nistelrooy and Leicester City have a two-and-a-half-year contract. There are two more seasons left after this season. However, rumors of hard work are flooding in.
Stephen Warnock, a native of Liverpool and Aston Villa, told the UK's 『BBC"Leicester City Board of Governors should make a decision as soon as possible. It wouldn't be surprising if Van Nistelroy left the team. "Because the team wasn't good enough..."The next manager should be appropriate, and no matter who comes into the team, he needs the support of the board to return to the Premier League as soon as possible" he said.
Van Nistelrooy said "It's always difficult unless it's done with the result. There is no negotiation on these standards, and I am fully responsible"And yet "I am waiting for the club's clear position and how they want to continue to be active. My goal is to lead the club. You have to watch what the club thinks, and start from there," he stressed.
And "Clubs should make good use of this time. Otherwise, it will be wasted. In this situation, we must meet very carefully with the club to discuss the matter," he added.
