Former Leicester City manager Brendan Rodgers says he has "every confidence" he would have kept the club in the Premier League this season.
The 50-year-old Northern Irishman won the club's first FA Cup in 2021 and secured European qualification in consecutive seasons.
"It has been a privilege to be your manager," Rodgers said.
"I would like to thank the Leicester City chairman Mr Srivaddhanaprabha and all of the board for giving me the opportunity to manage Leicester City and make history with this great football club over the past four years.
"I am obviously disappointed to depart so close to the end of the season and had every confidence that we would have delivered the results needed to preserve the club's Premier League status.
