Leicester relegated to League One 10 years after Premier League title - ESPN

Leicester City have been relegated to League One from the Championship after a 2-2 draw with Hull City on Tuesday night.

In 2022-23 the club was relegated to the Championship before bouncing straight back up to the Premier League after the 2023-24 season.

However, life back in the top flight in 2024-25 was far from smooth sailing and manager Steve Cooper was sacked after 12 games. Replacement Ruud van Nistelrooy couldn't steer them to safety and the Foxes went down again.
