Leicester sack TWO members of staff in strong response after Ruud van Nistelrooy's men were thrashed 4-0 by Brentford

Leicester have responded to their latest Premier League defeat by parting company with two members of Ruud van Nistelrooy’s coaching staff.

Ben Dawson and Danny Alcock, who were appointed by former boss Steve Cooper, left the club on Monday, three days after the humiliating home thrashing by Brentford.

That result, coupled with Wolves’ win at Bournemouth on Saturday, left the Foxes five points adrift of safety.

Van Nistelrooy’s side have lost 10 of their previous 11 league fixtures and fans have turned on the players and hierarchy in recent games as they fear an immediate return to the Championship.
