Sacked Leicester boss Claude Puel thanked everyone at the club and said it was an honour to work as Foxes manager before being relieved of his duties on Sunday.
The 57-year-old Frenchman's 16-month reign came to end after Saturday's 4-1 home defeat to Crystal Palace.
That was Leicester's sixth defeat in their last seven matches, a run that has seen them knocked out of the FA Cup by Newport and drop down to 12th in the Premier League, eight points above the relegation zone.
Puel said in a statement released through the League Managers Association: "I would like to thank everyone that I worked with at Leicester City Football Club. It was a privilege to work with the players, the staff and the management.
"It was my honour to work for the late and much loved Khun Vichai, who gave me the fantastic opportunity to manage his club and share some great moments with him.
"My mission at Leicester City Football Club ends here but I will continue to follow the performances of the team and wish the club all the best for the future."
Evans reveals Puel goodbye
Foxes defender Jonny Evans revealed Puel said his goodbyes to the squad on Sunday, adding the players feel responsible but hinted that Puel had suffered from a disconnect with the players and fans at Leicester.
He told Sky Sports: "We got called into a meeting yesterday (Sunday) morning, the manager spoke, he spoke well, he spoke to the players and informed us of the club's decision. He wished us all the best for the future.
"We feel responsible for a lot of things, when you lose games of football, you feel like you're letting a lot of people down, not just the manager, the fans, the people working behind the scenes at the club and there's always that element to it. It's not a nice feeling.
"There's no denying we've been inconsistent throughout the season. We've had some good result against the bigger teams in the league and coming up against the teams we're expected to get more points against we haven't been able to do that and that's caused an inconsistency."
