A number of Leicester City players were filmed partying in a nightclub near a shocking sign prior to manager Steve Cooper's sacking.

On Sunday, an official statement from Leicester confirmed Cooper's departure.

It read: "Leicester City Football Club has parted company with Steve Cooper, who leaves his position as First Team Manager with immediate effect.

"Assistant Manager Alan Tate and First Team Coach and Analyst Steve Rands have also left the Club. Steve, Alan and Steve depart with our thanks for their contribution during their time with the Club and with our best wishes for the future.

"Men’s First Team training will be overseen by First Team Coach Ben Dawson, supported by coaches Danny Alcock and Andy Hughes, as the Club begins the process of appointing a new manager, which we hope to conclude as soon as possible."

Prior to the announcement of Cooper's sacking on Sunday, Leicester players were reportedly partying in a nightclub in Copenhagen on Saturday night, hours after their 2-1 defeat by Chelsea.

As shown by footage obtained by Danish news outlet Ekstra Bladet which circulated on social media over the weekend, Leicester players including the likes Harry Winks and Conor Coady were seen dancing near a sign that said: "Enzo, I miss u," a possible message directed at former Foxes boss Enzo Maresca, who is now in charge of Chelsea.

A number of players were seen smiling and embracing each other as some filmed the moment on their phones.

As reported by the Daily Mail, the Leicester players travelled to Denmark for an early Christmas party ahead of the busy festive schedule.

SPORTbible has contacted Leicester City Football Club for comment.

Leicester, who gained promotion back to the Premier League by winning the Championship, are currently 16th in the table, one point above the drop zone.

The Foxes have so far collected 10 points from 12 matches, winning two, drawing four and losing six.

According to talkSPORT, the decision to part ways with Cooper was not a 'knee jerk reaction' on the back of the Chelsea defeat.

The report stated: "Leicester's owner Aiyawatt 'Top' Srivaddhanaprabha had reservations soon after appointing Cooper in the summer and the decision to let him go was not a knee-jerk reaction to the defeat to the Blues."

The likes of Graham Potter, David Moyes, Ruud van Nistelrooy and Carlos Corberan have all since been linked with the Leicester job.
