Leicester news: Steve Cooper sacking – analysis
Former Premier League midfielder Don Hutchison says he is “not shocked” by the sacking of Steve Cooper because of the “passive” performance against Chelsea on Saturday.
The Foxes are 16th in the Premier League and a point above the relegation zone.
“I’m not shocked because unless he went in to the job and transferred the style then it was almost inevitable he was going to get sacked,” said Hutchison on the BBC Radio 5 Live Football Daily podcast. “That is because of the history between Leicester and Nottingham Forest and the fans’ reaction.
“Their application against Chelsea is perhaps the reason because they didn’t really do anything in the opening 45 minutes. They weren’t putting any pressure on, running around or pressing.
“It was almost like they were so petrified that they were in their positions and passive. I was watching and thinking when are they going to do something in this game!
“But for what it is worth, even though Cooper has been sacked, I don’t think this has done any damage to his career.”
