Leicester City have become just the second team in Premier League history to win the title, and be relegated from the division, on a dramatic final day in the 2022/23 season.
The Foxes have slipped from playing in a UEFA Europa Conference League semifinal less than 12 months ago, to facing the prospect of EFL Championship football in 2023/24.
Despite maintaining themselves as a Premier League force, following their shock 2015/16 title win, Leicester have plummeted in 2022/23, and they are back in the second tier for the first time since 2014.
The club opted to sack long serving manager Brendan Rodgers in April, with former Aston Villa head coach Dean Smith unable to save the club from Premier League relegation.
