Season summary

In the 2005–06 season, Leicester's dismal form continued which saw some fans call for Levein's resignation as the team were near the bottom of the table after ten matches, and fell into the relegation zone in January, ultimately leading to his sacking on Wednesday 25 January 2006,{{cite web|title=Levein and Leicester part company|url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/teams/l/leicester_city/4648436.stm|publisher=BBC Sport|date=25 January 2006|access-date=30 January 2012}} despite a 3–2 FA Cup win over Premiership club Tottenham just 17 days earlier.{{cite web|title=Leicester 3-2 Tottenham|url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/fa_cup/4565028.stm|publisher=BBC Sport|date=8 January 2006|access-date=30 January 2012}}

After winning three out of four games as caretaker manager and moving the club five places up the league, Rob Kelly was appointed to see out the rest of the season.{{cite web|title=Foxes confirm Kelly as new boss|url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/teams/l/leicester_city/4709524.stm|publisher=BBC Sport|date=13 February 2006|access-date=30 January 2012}} Kelly steered Leicester to safety and in April 2006 was given the manager's job on a permanent basis.{{cite web|title=Kelly given Leicester job|url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/teams/l/leicester_city/4908310.stm|publisher=BBC Sport|date=14 April 2006|access-date=30 January 2012}} Jim McCahill retired as chairman on 1 June 2006 and was replaced by Andrew Taylor.
