Fans brand Steve Cooper's sacking 'harsh' as social media users name the managers they think should take over at Leicester

Leicester have remarkably opted to part company with their manager Steve Cooper after just 15 games in charge at the club, sending fans online into meltdown.

Poetically, Cooper's exit came against former Foxes boss Enzo Maresca, with Leicester suffering a 2-1 defeat by Chelsea on Saturday afternoon.

The result left the midlands club just two points off the bottom three, with Cooper, whose last posting had been at the Foxes' Midlands rivals, Nottingham Forest, winning just four games since he arrived in August.

His sacking left many fans divided on social media with one social media user claiming that his axing came too soon.
