Leicester City forward Jamie Vardy has issued a heartfelt apology to fans following the club’s relegation from the Premier League. In a statement posted on Monday via X, Vardy expressed deep disappointment over the club’s performance, admitting that words could not fully capture his feelings of anger and sadness.
“At this point, I don’t even know what to say. No words I have can ever express my feelings of anger and sadness with the way this season has gone. There are no excuses,” he said. The 2025 campaign marks Leicester’s second relegation from the top flight in three seasons. The team also made unwanted Premier League history by going nine consecutive home games without scoring a single goal.
Vardy acknowledged that the entire club had failed, saying, “Collectively, as players and as a club, we failed. There is simply no hiding, and I refuse to entertain any suggestion of doing so.” Reflecting on his long career at the club, Vardy noted how painful the current situation is for him and the supporters alike.
“Having been at this club for so long, we’ve experienced so many highs and successes — and this season has been nothing but miserable and for me personally, a total embarrassment. It hurts, and I know you’re feeling it too,” he said. Addressing the fans directly, Vardy apologized for the team’s performance and the way the season ended.
“To the fans: I’m sorry. Sorry we haven’t performed, and sorry we end the 2025 season with such a s**t show,” he added. Vardy’s apology highlights the disappointment and frustration felt by the players and fans alike. As Leicester City looks to rebuild and regain their Premier League status, Vardy’s words will likely resonate with the team’s loyal supporters.
The apology also underscores the challenges faced by the team and the need for collective effort to overcome them. As Vardy noted, there are no excuses for the team’s performance, and the club must work together to achieve success in the future. With Vardy’s leadership and dedication, Leicester City fans can expect a strong response from the team in the coming seasons.
