During the 1990β91 English football season, Leicester City F.C. competed in the Football League Second Division.
David Pleat oversaw one of Leicester's most unsuccessful periods in its history during the 1990β91 season. He was sacked in January 1991 after a 3β1 defeat at home to Blackburn Rovers left Leicester fourth from bottom. Gordon Lee was put in charge of the club until the end of the season. Leicester won their final game of the season which guided them clear of relegation to the third tier of the Football League at the expense of West Bromwich Albion. [1]
