We can’t continue with this man 😭💔: This is the unbelievable comment Gary Rowett made when he was asked about his mood following Leicester City’s relegation.

Gary Rowett admitted the pain of Leicester City’s relegation was impossible to hide after the club’s 2-2 draw with Hull City confirmed their drop into League One.

The result at the King Power Stadium ended any faint hopes of survival and left the Leicester manager facing the reality of one of the darkest days in the club’s modern history.

Supporters remained inside the ground long after the final whistle, with frustration and disbelief visible across the stands as a decade of decline reached its lowest point.

When asked about his mood in the immediate aftermath, Rowett acknowledged the emotion surrounding the occasion and the visible impact it had on his dressing room.

‘It was always to be very raw in the aftermath. You could see the disappointment amongst the players’

Leicester briefly looked as though they might keep their survival hopes alive after second-half goals from Jordan James and Luke Thomas turned the match around, only for Hull to strike again and leave the home side with too much to do.

For Rowett, however, the focus has already turned towards the challenge ahead and the difficult decisions that now await the club over the summer.

The Leicester manager believes the club must use the setback as the beginning of a fresh start rather than dwelling on the mistakes that have brought them here.

‘It’s about what happens next. It’s a chance to really rebuild’

Those words now carry huge weight as Leicester prepare for an unfamiliar and uncertain future.
