Andrew Hughes Must Go: Leicester City’s Set-Piece Coach Has Failed After Championship Relegation

Leicester City's relegation has been a collective lack of effort on and off the pitch, but one area that has come under specific scrutiny is set-pieces.

But one department that deserves particular scrutiny is set-pieces, which puts specialist coach Andrew Hughes directly in focus.
