Leicester City managed to get back in Premier League from the first attempt, after at the end of last season relegated to the Championship.

The team coached by Enzo Maresca thus returns to the British first echelon, eight years away from when it stunned the entire football world. Then, in the second season after promotion, won the Premier League titleunder the command of Claudio Ranieri.

Leicester City is mathematically promoted to the Premier League

The “Foxes” won their return to the biggest championship in the world thanks to the failure suffered by Leeds, score 0-4, against those from Queens Park Rangers.

Thus, with two stages left until the end, Leicester can no longer lose first place. In the Championship, the first two positions advance directly, and the next four play a semi-final – final play-off.

It is the eighth time that Leicester have become champions in the British second tier. In addition to the historic title won in the 2015/2016 season in the Premier League, the “Foxes” also have the FA Cup (once), the English Super Cup (twice) and the English League Cup (three times) in their records.
