Claude Puel fighting to save his job at Leicester City

Claude Puel is now fighting for his job at Leicester City, according to reports from multiple outlets.

The Frenchman has quickly gone out of favour after a run of form that has seen his side win just four of their last 17 Premier League games.

It’s not long ago that the Foxes were competing with Burnley for the seventh spot; however consecutive defeats to Newcastle United and the Clarets, and stalemate against Southampton thereafter has more or less ended their hopes.

The run of form at home in particular has been the undoing of Leicester City. The East Midlanders have failed to win at the King Power Stadium in five successive games, failing to beat Southampton, Stoke City, AFC Bournemouth, Newcastle and Burnley during the barren run.

With just the eighth spot left to cling on to for this season, the Leicester City board is now planning a major overhaul that would see many go out and many come in, but whether or not would Claude Puel be the one overseeing it is what is the main question.

There have been numerous reports concerning the dressing room environment as well, with a lot of players apparently not in support of Claude Puel anymore, as was the case with Claudio Ranieri in the 2016/17 season when he completely lost his players.

It is unlikely that the club will make an announcement on Puel’s future anytime soon, as it won’t be the ideal time. They do need to keep in mind, though, that changing managers doesn’t guarantee success. Sometimes, the players need a good, long look at.
