Tough times for Leicester fans and an agonizing relegation from the Championship.

Details: After today’s 2-2 home draw against Hull City in the 44th round of the Championship, former Premier League champions Leicester City have officially been relegated to League One, the third tier of English football.

At the moment, Leicester sit second from bottom in the Championship with 43 points from 44 matches, making their drop inevitable.

This Leicester collapse is even more painful considering that just ten years ago, they lifted the Premier League trophy with stars like Jamie Vardy, Riyad Mahrez, Danny Drinkwater, and Harry Maguire in their ranks.

Now, the Foxes plunge to the depths once again, testing the loyalty of their supporters.

Still, many fans fondly remember the fairytale Leicester gave them in the 2015/16 season.
