JAKARTA - Leicester City must return to the Championship after their relegation from the Premier League this season was confirmed with a 0-1 defeat against Liverpool on Sunday, April 20, 2025.

This marks the second relegation in three years for Leicester, who returned to the Premier League last season as the winner of the Championship.

Namun, ini merupakan perjuangan sejak awal musim ini bagi juara Liga Inggris 2015/2016 tersebut.

They failed to win a single of their first six games and sacked manager Steve Cooper after 15 games with the team in 16th position.

Leicester turned to Manchester United's former Manchester United assistant, Ruud van Nistelrooy, to lead the club to a safe place, but the appointment did not change the fate of the team.

Leicester entered the match on Sunday, April 20, 2025, as the first team in England's top four lost eight home games in a row without scoring a goal - 0-1 defeat bringing the total to nine.

"We have to take advantage of this time to get better. The club will continue to advance and my job is to put the club in the best place," Van Nistelrooy said after the game.

This achievement left Van Nistelrooy's fate with The Fox still a question mark next season.

"I hope soon (know the future). The new season will begin soon and preparations must begin to move forward."

"The sooner, the better," he said when asked when he would know whether to stay or not.

Leicester's performance against Liverpool has some positive things, but relegation has been inevitable for months.

"I am very disappointed because now it is certain. We continue to hope and fight, but over the past few weeks we have seen the gap widening."

"Then you see it coming even though we never give up. We shift focus to the future to take advantage of this game and finish the season as best we can."

"The next season of the Championship will begin and my job is to do the best possible for the club."

"I will work in the coming weeks, my job is to do everything in the best interests of Leicester City."

"I'm waiting for clarity from the club and how they want to continue. The goal is to lead the club," said Van Nistelrooy.
