Premier League champions have taken the unusual step in publicising their "unwavering support" towards Claudio Ranieri.
The Italian manager led Leicester City to their first league title in the club's history last season. Despite impressing in their Champions League debut, Leicester's title defence has been poor.
After 24 games, Leicester lie in 16th place on 21 points, having lost four games in a row. At the same stage last season, Leicester were on 50 points, three clear of Manchester City at the top of the table.
The team have lost four Premier League games in a row, have have not scored a league goal in 2017. Islam Slimani's goal against West Ham on December 31st was the last time Leicester scored and won a game.
