Jamie Vardy apologized to Leicester City fans for the “shit show” of their relegation of the Premier League.
The Foxe striker marked his miserable season, a “ total embarrassment ” after their return to the championship was confirmed with defeat against Liverpool on Sunday. It was the ninth consecutive home game in which Leicester failed to score while the former champions underwent their second relegation in three seasons with a groan.
Ruud Van Nistelrooy was unable to direct them towards security in what was a disastrous campaign, and the hoots sounded the King Power Stadium on Sunday while the hopes of Leicester survival ended with five games that remained in the season.
Vardy is a captain of the Club ND also his oldest player, having been there since his first League debut and helping them with a historic victory in 2016.
At 38, however, he was unable to help the foxes this season, marking seven of the 27 only his teams succeeded.
And now he went to social networks to apologize to Leicester fans for the season they have had, not his words by expressing his emotions surrounding the campaign.

Ruud Van Nistelrooy could not help the team, and its future as a boss remains uncertain
“At this point, I don’t even know what to say,” he started, sharing the message with his 880,000 x subscribers. “No word that I can never express my feelings of anger and sadness with the way this season took place. There is no excuse.
“Collectively, as players and as a club, we failed. There is simply no hiding place and I refuse to entertain any suggestion to do it.
“Having been in this club for so long, we have known so many highs and success – and this season has only been miserable and for me personally, total embarrassment. It hurts and I know you feel it too.
“Fans: I’m sorry.” Sorry, we didn’t play, and sorry, we finish the 2025 season with such that *** show.
This disastrous campaign could be the last of Vardy for the club when he approaches the end of his contract, after having signed an extension of 12 months last summer, and remains in talks on his future.
There was no sign on the next step for Leicester, whose board of directors was criticized by fans for their campaign management.
Asked about his future, Van Nistelrooy, who is contracted until 2027, said: “I focus on taking my responsibility for doing the best things for the future and next season. Performance like Brighton and Liverpool game are signs that players are ready to do so.
“We have to take responsibility and that’s what I do in the next five weeks and after that, we have to see.
The Dutchman revealed that no date had been put for a conversation with the club’s hierarchy, but that he expects him to expect talks that will soon be held. He won only eight points in 21 games, compared to former boss Steve Cooper Cooper, who won 10 points in 12.
