Leicester City chairman Aiyawatt Srivaddhanaprabha has paid tribute to Brendan Rodgers after the manager's departure.
Rodgers leaves by mutual consent after defeat to Crystal Palace yesterday.
Aiyawatt said: The achievements of the team under Brendan's management speak for themselves we've experienced some of our finest footballing moments under his guidance and will always be grateful to him and his staff for the heights they helped us to reach on the pitch.
Off the pitch, Brendan embraced the culture of the Club and helped cultivate an outstanding developmental environment, particularly during the transition to Seagrave, and provided strong leadership during the unprecedented challenge of the coronavirus pandemic. His place in Leicester City history is assured.
However, performances and results during the current season have been below our shared expectations. It had been our belief that continuity and stability would be key to correcting our course, particularly given our previous achievements under Brendan's management. Regrettably, the desired improvement has not been forthcoming and, with 10 games of the season remaining, the Board is compelled to take alternative action to protect our Premier League status.
The task ahead of us in our final 10 games is clear. We now need to come together fans, players and staff and show the poise, quality and fight to secure our position as a Premier League club."
