Premier League side Leicester City said on Sunday they have parted company with manager Claude Puel, with the club sitting 12th in the league standings.
Puel, 57, had been unable to get Leicester out of a recent slump with the club losing five of their last six league matches, and a 4-1 defeat at home to Crystal Palace on Saturday compounded their misery.
โThe club would like to thank Claude for his efforts in leading the team during his 16 months in the role and wish him well in his future career,โ Leicester said in a statement.
