Leicester City part company with Paulo Sousa
Leicester City have announced they are parting company with manager Paulo Sousa.
Sousa took charge of the Foxes in the summer of 2010, and after a bad start to the season, where Leicester are currently bottom of the Championship having only won one of nine games, Leicester have decided enough is enough.
A statement from the club’s official website read: “Leicester City has today announced that they will be parting company with manager Paulo Sousa, with immediate effect.
“Current goalkeeper coach, Mike Stowell and coach Chris Powell, will take temporary dual charge of the first-team for Saturday's match against Scunthorpe United at the Walkers Stadium.
“The decision has been taken as a result of the club's poor run of results this season. The club would like to state that Paulo Sousa is a first-class individual, but that this decision has been taken in the best interests of the club and our ambitions to move up the npower Championship."
According to reports, talks have already been held with former manager Martin O’Neill and Sven-Goran Eriksson.
“The search for a new manager begins immediately and the club anticipates a quick appointment," the statement went on to read.
