Leicester Relegated: From Premier League Champions to League One with Championship Relegation
- On Tuesday, Leicester City were relegated to the third tier of English soccer after drawing 2-2 with Hull City at King Power Stadium, exactly 10 years after their historic Premier League title win.
- The relegation follows a troubled campaign with only one win in 18 Championship fixtures, compounded by a six-point penalty for breaching English Football League profit and sustainability regulations.
- Manager Gary Rowett, who took charge in February, called the situation "incredibly frustrating." This drop marks only the second instance in Leicester's 121-year league history, following a second consecutive relegation.
- Coventry City clinched the Championship title with a 5-1 victory over Portsmouth, moving 10 points clear at the top with two games remaining and securing promotion to the Premier League.
- Leicester becomes the first former English champion to fall to League One since Leeds United in 2007. Next season, the club will face opponents including newly promoted Bromley, whose ground holds just over 5,000 people.
