Leicester City have dismissed manager Steve Cooper after a run of four Premier League games without a win.

Cooper, who previously managed Leicester's rivals Nottingham Forest, only took charge of the Foxes for 15 games in all competitions.

He was appointed in June, after Enzo Maresca left to join Chelsea following Leicester's promotion back to the Premier League.

After going six league games without a win at the start of the season, Cooper appeared to have steadied the ship with victories over Bournemouth and Southampton.

We have parted company with Steve Cooper, who leaves his position as First Team Manager with immediate effect.

However, a winless streak of four top-flight matches, in which Leicester lost to Forest, Manchester United and Chelsea, while drawing with Ipswich Town, has seen Cooper lose his position.

In a statement released on Sunday, Leicester confirmed Cooper's assistants Alan Tate and Steve Rands had also left the club, with Ben Dawson set to take charge until a replacement is appointed.

Former Brighton and Chelsea boss Graham Potter was reportedly in talks to join Leicester prior to Cooper's appointment in the summer.

The Foxes are 16th in the Premier League on 10 points after 12 games.
