Chelsea have sacked their manager Graham Potter, the football club has announced.
Rodgers was the 12th Premier League manager to lose his job this season and Potter became the 13th soon afterwards.
"The attack was there. The scoreline is painful for us. There's not much I can say that sounds positive," Potter said in his final comments as Chelsea boss. "Chelsea would like to thank Graham for all his efforts and contribution and wish him well for the future."Leicester City, who are embroiled in an unexpected relegation fight, lost to a last-minute goal against Crystal Palace this weekend after initially taking the lead against Roy Hodgson's side.
"It had been our belief that continuity and stability would be key to correcting our course, particularly given our previous achievements under Brendan's management.
