Claude Puel sacked by Leicester City

Claude Puel sacked by Leicester City
.

Claude Puel has been sacked by Leicester City, the club announced on Sunday.
The Frenchman had seen his position come under increasing scrutiny in recent weeks and a 4-1 battering at home to Crystal Palace on Saturday sealed his fate.
A sizeable portion of the Foxes' fans stayed behind to vent their frustration at the King Power Stadium, with Leicester yet to win at home in 2019 and having earned just one victory in nine competitive outings.
And Leicester have opted to make the change, with a club statement reading: "Leicester City Football Club has parted company with Claude Puel, who leaves his position as First Team Manager with immediate effect.
"The club would like to thank Claude for his efforts in leading the team during his 16 months in the role and wish him well in his future career.
"Assistant Manager Jacky Bonnevay also departs with the club's best wishes.
"First Team Coaches Mike Stowell and Adam Sadler, supported by the club's established backroom staff, will assume responsibility for the senior squad while the club begins the process of appointing a new manager.
"The Board will make no further comment until this process is complete."
Puel's position has been in doubt for several months, but three wins in four matches – including back-to-back victories over Chelsea and Manchester City – over the busy festive period earned him a stay of execution.
The former Southampton boss has reportedly had an uneasy relationship with members of his squad this season, while there has been a growing apathy from the fanbase.
Leicester are 12th in the Premier League having taken 32 points from 27 matches this season.

Coutinho: You never know what the future holds

Coutinho: You never know what the future holds Philippe Coutinho admitted his future may lie away from Barcelona after starring and scoring in a 5-1 victory over Lyon in the Champions League last 16. Coutinho doubled the lead on Wednesday after Lionel Messi opened the scoring at Camp Nou as Barca reached the quarter-finals following a scoreless first leg away to Lyon last month. The Brazilian playmaker finished a slick move involving compatriot Arthur and former Liverpool team-mate Luis Suarez just after the half-hour mark, as Messi's double and goals from Gerard Pique and substitute Ousmane Dembele clinched a resounding victory. Coutinho has struggled for form and consistency since his €142million arrival from Liverpool in January last year, prompting speculation of a move away and a return to the Premier League. The Brazil international admitted his form has been below his own expectations as he refused to rule out an exit from the LaLiga champions. "...
