Marti Cifuentes: Leicester City sack manager after less than seven months in charge at the King Power Stadium
- Following Saturday's 2-1 home defeat, Leicester City dismissed Marti Cifuentes after six months in charge, appointing Andy King, first-team coach, to take temporary charge.
- Supporters at the King Power reacted angrily, launching sack chants including `we want Marti out` as chairman Aiyawatt Srivaddhanaprabha attended Saturday's match.
- Match statistics show that Leicester City registered 77 per cent possession—their highest this season—but produced just 16 touches in the Oxford box and had an expected goals total of 0.6.
- The club are searching for a permanent manager with 17 matches remaining this season, and Leicester City must complete transfer business before the winter window deadline on Monday, February 2.
- Conceding across 23 straight games suggests Leicester City faces defensive struggles, with Marti Cifuentes' 10 wins from 29 leaving them at their lowest tally since the 2007-08 season.
