This was Leicester's first season since 2010–11 to not feature Kasper Schmeichel, who departed to Nice in the summer.
Leicester City made a poor start to their season, as they only picked up one point in their first seven league matches, and sat at the bottom of the table.[3] At the eighth attempt, they achieved their first win of the season, after beating local rivals Nottingham Forest 4–0.[4] The club went on to have a terrific run-in, until going back to losing ways with a 3–0 defeat to Manchester United. On 2 April 2023, having gone six matches without a win, head coach Brendan Rodgers was sacked after four years in charge.[5] A week later, Dean Smith took temporary charge until the end of the season.[6] Despite their final day win over West Ham United, Leicester were officially relegated to the Championship for the fourth time in their history following Everton's victory against Bournemouth. This made Leicester the second former champions in the Premier League era to be relegated, after Blackburn Rovers.[7]
