Nine years after the top of its history and this unlikely title of champion of England, Leicester is plunged in the nightmare. The British club was officially relegated to Championship (English second division) after a very chaotic exercise.
But this unfortunate sporting outflow is not the only bad news for foxes supporters. Jamie Vardy, emblematic player of the club, announced his departure this Thursday.
It was the club that published a video on its official X account, in which we can see the poignant message of the English international striker. “Leicester will remain forever in my heart,” says the one who will have been the emblematic scorer of the Foxes.
An absolute legend of Leicester
In total, Jamie Vardy will have spent 13 years in Leicester. The attacker has emerged over the years like a darling of club fans. Renowned for his effectiveness and his instinct in front of the goal, the Briton was also a highly temperament player.
During this famous 2015-16 campaign, Vardy had been the top scorer and one of the great craftsmen of the coronation of Foxes. The Englishman then formed a very prolific tandem with the Algerian international Riyad Mahrez, who left for Manchester City two years later.
