Leicester City’s recent decline has been well documented, and for many Foxes fans, the confirmation of the club’s relegation to League One for the second time in history was the final nail in the coffin.

Just ten years ago, the Foxes won the Premier League title under Claudio Ranieri and were preparing for many historic UEFA Champions League nights at the King Power Stadium.

However, following a season marred by problems both on and off the field, they are now preparing for their first season in the third tier in 17 years.

Relegation to the League One seemed sealed for the East Midlands outfit after they were defeated 1-0 by Portsmouth at Fratton Park on Saturday afternoon, but it was confirmed on Tuesday night with a 2-2 draw against play-off contenders Hull City.

To their credit, Rowett’s side demonstrated a strong desire and will to turn the game around in the second period, following a comical error by Asmir Begovic that allowed Liam Millar to score the Tigers’ opener, with Jordan James scoring his 11th goal of a fine individual season, followed by Luke Thomas’ second in two minutes.

However, Oli McBurnie’s 63rd-minute strike denied Leicester the opportunity to extend their fight against relegation to the final two Championship matches of the season, with the full-time whistle met by a chorus of boos and shouts of frustration from the home crowd towards the players and hierarchy.

The club’s financial problems has also been well documented, with a six-point deduction not helping Leicester’s position, despite the fact that they have now won only two of their previous 20 league games, with Rowett overseeing one of those against Bristol City.

And, with the Foxes’ fate confirmed, a new update on their managerial predicament has been released.

Fresh Leicester City managerial update surfaces after League One relegation involved Gary Rowett.

Rowett, of course, was given his current position on a temporary basis in February until the end of the season, having previously held a similar position at Birmingham City two years ago, which also resulted in the West Midlands side’s relegation.

As previously stated, the former Leicester defender has only managed one victory in his 12-game stint, against the Robins, which also marked the club’s first and only clean sheet since September 20th in the Championship.

Naturally, there has been much speculation about who will be the next permanent manager or head coach at the East Midlands club, with Andy King serving as interim manager after Marti Cifuentes was fired in January following only six months in charge.

As a result, Leicester will be looking for their fourth permanent manager in less than a year after dropping out of the Premier League, with talkSPORT’s Jason Bourne reporting that Rowett is expected to see out the final two games of the season against Millwall and Blackburn Rovers before departing.

Alex Crook has also revealed that he expects the club to make a formal statement about their newest managerial move in July, giving the management a two-month window to undertake a search before the League One season begins on the weekend of August 15th.

Gary Rowett responds to questions about his Leicester City future.

When asked what type of decisions those in power at the club must make, Rowett’s response of “(that’s) not for me to worry about,” further reinforced to the impression that he may not be the right man to lead Leicester into a critical rebuilding season.

Given the club’s financial uncertainty, it remains to be seen which path they take with a new appointment, with several high earners expected to depart in the summer, with Abdul Fatawu, in particular, still attracting strong transfer interest despite the Foxes’ relegation.

Supporters also remained outside the main reception area at the King Power Stadium after the game to vent their rage at players and staff, and a similar environment could be expected when Leicester face Millwall on Friday night.
