Claude Puel, sacked!
Leicester City decided today to sack Claude Puel after recent bad results, not able to win a single game in the last six played. Puel took charge of Leicester City back in October 2017, and had a relatively turbulent time at King Power Stadium. Puel took over a team who had been on a rollercoaster…
