Leicester announced Geordan Murphy had been promoted from interim to permanent coach hours after Manchester United had sacked José Mourinho. The two clubs, dominant forces in the Premiership eras of their sports, were moving in the same direction, despite the contrasting decisions.
United and Leicester were last champions in 2012-13, for the 13th and eighth time respectively, but both started the week on their fourth manager/coach since then. United have made their worst start to a Premier League campaign, while the Tigers are on their longest losing run since 1975: eight matches.
