Gary Rowett has stated he has not needed to clear the air with the Leicester City board regarding critical remarks made during his time as a television pundit. Rowett took charge of the Foxes following the departure of Steve Cooper, who was dismissed after 12 matches in the Premier League. Before his arrival at the King Power Stadium, the former Birmingham City manager had questioned the club's recruitment strategy and direction in media appearances.
Speaking ahead of the fixture against Manchester City, Rowett explained that his earlier assessments were based on an external perspective. He noted that such opinions are easier to form from afar and do not reflect the current internal environment, according to The Athletic. The manager confirmed the hierarchy has not raised the issue since his appointment. Rowett remains focused on improving the club's league position after a difficult start to the campaign. Leicester currently sits in the bottom half of the table following four wins in its opening matches, per Sky Sports.
