Rodgers has no problem if Leicester directors fire him

Despite the good results he got in the past seasons, the Irish coach is under a lot of pressure this season.

Leicester City

manager Brendan Rodgers has claimed that if the club's owners decide to fire him, he will respect their decision.

The Foxes have started the season very poorly and are at the bottom of the Premier League table with only 1 point from 7 games. Given that Leicester only made one signing in the summer and many players left the team, it was expected that A significant drop in this team. Rodgers has led this team to the FA Cup championship in recent seasons, but due to very poor results in the current season, he is under severe pressure. His team has conceded 25 goals from set pieces since the beginning of last season, which is more than any team in the Premier League, and this season they have conceded 22 goals, which is the worst in the top 4 divisions. The 6-2 defeat against

Tottenham

made the fans very angry and Rodgers stated that if the club's directors want to fire him, he has no problem with their decision.

He said: 

"I don't know, to be honest. Whatever their [the owners'] decision is, I will always respect it.

"I think we've seen enough. I felt the team tonight, if you watched them play in the first half, you could see the confidence and creativity. It's just cutting out mistakes.

"There is no doubt we've had a tough first seven games, especially after the summer we've had - Tottenham away, Arsenal away, Chelsea away, Manchester United at home and a couple of other games we should win.

"It [the international break] has probably come at a good time to reset everything, break the cycle from the summer as well. The owners will do what it is they feel they need to do.

"I'm not daft, I know football, and the last six games don't make great reading. But I have every confidence the team can push on and climb the table if they play like they did in large parts and cut out mistakes."
