Whelan steps down after 15 years as Leicester CEO
Susan Whelan in the stands at Leicester CitySusan Whelan has left her role as Leicester City chief executive after 15 years with the club.
In her time in the job, Leicester rose from England's second tier to win a previously unfathomable Premier League title in 2015-16 before going on to also claim the FA Cup for the first time in 2021.
While she was involved in a decade of unprecedented success at the Foxes, which included bringing Champions League football to the King Power Stadium, the club has most recently suffered two relegations in three years.
The threat of points deductions for alleged breaches of spending rules have also hung over the club in recent years.
