Leicester City have sacked manager Steve Cooper after just five months in charge and Foxes fans are all feeling the same way.
Leicester had not won any of their last four matches in all competitions before the Premier League game against Chelsea on Saturday.
The Foxes were absolutely woeful against former boss Enzo Maresca’s side and were fortunate to only lose 2-1.
This has ultimately cost Cooper his job, with Leicester fans around the world reacting to the news on social media.

Leicester City fans react to Steve Cooper sacking
Several Foxes fans have taken to X in the last few hours to share their opinion on the news of Steve Cooper’s departure, and they all seem to agree.
One supporter posted: “Incredible stuff. Thank you for listening to the fans. The worst manager in the recent history of our club.”
“We wish Steve Cooper well in the rest of his career. Lovely bloke but It didn’t work out,” one added.
A Leicester fan said: “He had no style of play, there’s no identity in their game at this moment. In the Premier League that simply cannot happen. Extremely disappointing how that worked out.”
“Wow fair play for acting quickly if you didn’t think things were good enough [Graham] Potter or RVN (Ruud van Nistelrooy) in? I’m intrigued,” another supporter wrote.
Potter and Van Nistelrooy have been heavily linked with Leicester and many other clubs, such as West Ham, Wolves and Coventry City, in recent weeks.
It remains unknown whether either will actually be considered for the Leicester vacancy, but that has not stopped Foxes fans giving their verdicts.
Leicester City fans want Ruud van Nistelrooy or Graham Potter
Potter (49) and Van Nistelrooy (48) are both considered to be young managers with a point to prove, much like Enzo Maresca (44) when he joined last summer.
This appears to be the direction that Leicester supporters are hoping the club goes in, rather than someone like David Moyes (61) who has been around a long time.
“Good decision. Let’s give Van Nistelrooy a chance possibly, maybe Graham Potter,” one fan wrote. “Potter or Van Nistelrooy in NOW,” said another.
And, of the two standout candidates, there seems to be more support for the Manchester United legend.
A supporter posted: “Enzo was an absolute hero. If I’m being honest I think we’ll go for Potter, but personally I’d love Ruud van Nistelrooy.”
“Ruud Van Nistelrooy In! The only man who can galvanise and develop our youthful squad,” a Leicester fan added.
