The Foxes’ failure to beat Hull City at the King Power Stadium on Tuesday evening officially confirmed their demotion to the third tier of English football for just the second time in their history. It also sees Leicester become the latest club to suffer back-to-back relegations, having also slipped out of the Premier League last term. Their return to League One is the culmination of a woeful season that has seen them hit with a points deduction, yet another managerial change, financial concerns, as well as a run of 17 games without a league victory. Leicester kicked off the season with former Queens Park Rangers boss Marti Cifuentes at the helm. The Spaniard was appointed in mid-July, three weeks after former boss Ruud van Nistelrooy was dismissed. Cifuentes actually started positively - the Foxes sitting as high as fourth in the league in mid-October, albeit sub-par performances did not reflect their position at the time. But things took a sharp downturn, with Cifuentes winning just a further six league games after that point.
