Ian Holloway leaves Leicester City

Terry Lane - Saturday 24.05.08, 12:49pm

Leicester City have confirmed that manager Ian Holloway has left the club by mutual consent.

Ian Holloway joined Leicester from Plymouth Argyle in November 2007 but after winning only nine of his 32 games in charge, Leicester City were relegated on the last day of the season, following a 0-0 draw that saw Stoke achieve automatic promotion to the Premiership.

After a meeting with Ian Holloway earlier this month it seemed that Mandaric might have learnt his lesson that managers need time to sort things out.

But yesterday Holloway was the ninth manager to be hired and fired since Milan Mandaric, the 69-year-old Serbian, took charge of Leicester City in April 2007. An amazing, yet shocking statistic.

“We both felt it would be in the best interests of Leicester City and its long-term future if we amicably parted company,” said chairman Milan Mandaric.

So who is going to be the next lamb to the slaughter?

Whoever becomes Milan Mandaric’s tenth appointment will need to hit the ground running unless they wish to become Milan’s tenth Leicester City managerial casualty.
