Leicester City face a hefty payout if manager Brendan Rodgers is to be removed.

It is the Foxes' worst start to a season since 1983 with the Midlands outfit picking up just one point from their opening six matches.

Rodgers penned a new deal at the King Power Stadium in December 2019 to keep himself at Leicester until June 2025.

The Daily Mail says his contract includes a huge compensation fee where he would pocket an eight-figure sum should he be fired.

Leicester would be liable to pay the 49-year-old a huge £10m.
