Eriksson leaves manager's hot seat

Former England coach walks away from Leicester City after a slow start

LEICESTER, England - Former England manager Sven-Goran Eriksson has left his position as Leicester City manager by "mutual agreement", the Championship club confirmed in a statement on its website on Monday.

The 63-year-old held talks with the club's Thai owners on Monday after Saturday's 3-0 home defeat to Millwall left it 13th on the table, albeit only two points outside the playoff places.
