Leicester City 1976β77 football season
During the 1976β77 English football season,
Leicester City competed in the
Football League First Division .
Leicester made a slow start to the season with six consecutive draws, but were fifth in the table and in the
UEFA Cup places after thirteen games, despite scoring only thirteen goals. Following that though, the team suffered from a lack of consistency and finished the campaign with only one win from the final ten league matches, but managed an 11th place finish. A week after the end of the season,
Jimmy Bloomfield resigned as manager.
