Jan 25 (Reuters) - ‌Leicester City sacked manager Marti ‌Cifuentes on Sunday after six months ‌in charge with the team 14th in the second-tier Championship, six points below the ‍top six who are ‍battling for promotion ‌to the Premier League.

They won only ‍one ​match between September and October under former Queens Park ⁠Rangers manager Cifuentes. Leicester are winless ‌in their last three matches, and Saturday's ⁠2-1 ‍loss to relegation-threatened Oxford United proved to be the last straw for ‍the Spaniard.
