LEICESTER, England — Leicester fired manager Steve Cooper on Sunday, just 12 rounds into the Premier League season.
Leicester is in 16th place in the 20-team league, two points above the relegation zone, after winning just two of its games so far.
Cooper replaced Enzo Maresca in the off-season but was only in charge for five months.
His last game proved to be the 2-1 loss at Chelsea on Saturday.
