The Foxes gave the Frenchman his marching orders on Sunday following the 4-1 thrashing at home to Crystal Palace, which was the club's fourth successive home defeat during a winless run which stretches back to Boxing Day.

Puel was in charge for 16 months after replacing Craig Shakespeare, and following a bright start, fans quickly grew tired of his 'boring' style of play.
