After Leicester City’s defeat to Chelsea and the announcement of Steve Cooper’s sacking, Leicester players reportedly partied in Copenhagen during a pre-planned trip for an early Christmas celebration. Some players were seen near a sign that read “Enzo, I miss u,” seemingly referencing their former coach, Enzo Maresca, now at Chelsea. This incident highlighted ongoing tensions and dissatisfaction with Cooper’s management among the squad【6】【7】.

Hermansen mentioned that the team worked hard to adapt to changes, though results did not reflect their efforts. This contrasted with fans’ frustrations and the eventual decision to remove Cooper to improve the team’s standing【7】【8】.
