Football

Gary Rowett has stated that Leicester City require a special effort to avoid relegation from the Championship as the season nears its end.

Leicester City manager Gary Rowett has called for belief from his players as the club fights to maintain its Championship status. The manager admitted that the team must achieve something special to avoid the drop during the final weeks of the campaign. Rowett took over the role recently following a difficult period for the Foxes, according to Sky Sports.

Leicester currently sit in a precarious position in the league table after a run of poor form. The manager noted that collective spirit remains essential for survival in the second tier. Recent results have left the side fighting for points against direct rivals in the bottom half of the standings, per The Guardian.

The squad faces several high-pressure fixtures before the season concludes in May. Rowett emphasized the importance of maintaining focus despite the increasing pressure. The Foxes previously spent nine years in the Premier League before their relegation to the Championship last year. Success in the remaining matches is now critical to avoid further descent, according to The Athletic.
