Jamie Vardy looks set to end his Leicester City career on 500 games with Sunday’s home match against Ipswich Town planned as his final appearance for the club.
The 38-year-old announced last month he would be leaving after 13 years when his contract expires this summer.
Leicester, whose relegation to the Championship was confirmed last month, have two matches remaining this season but the club and player are planning for Sunday’s fixture at the King Power Stadium to be his last, so he can bid farewell to the home supporters. Leicester’s final match is away to Bournemouth on May 25.
Despite the dismal season for Leicester, the club hopes the final home game can be a tribute to Vardy, who has scored 199 goals in 499 matches and was part of the team that won the 2016 Premier League title. This success was followed by European campaigns and an FA Cup win, the first in the club’s history. Vardy also scored seven goals in 26 appearances for England.

The Leicester website, confirming arrangements for Sunday’s celebrations, stated: “Jamie, who will make his 500th and final appearance in Leicester City colours, will be celebrated throughout the matchday … Following the full-time whistle, a series of activity is planned to honour Jamie’s 13 years as a Fox, and for Jamie to lead the team, as well as a host of former team-mates, in thanking everyone in attendance for their support during that unforgettable period.”
When Vardy announced his impending departure, Leicester chairman Aiyawatt Srivaddhanaprabha said on the club website: “Jamie is unique. He is a special player and an even more special person. He holds a place in the hearts of everyone connected to Leicester City, and he certainly has my deepest respect and affection. I am endlessly grateful for everything he has given to this football club.”
Leicester are 19th in the Premier League table on 22 points after picking up just five wins this season.

What I’m hearing about the Penguins’ coaching search, offseason plans
STOCKHOLM — Kyle Dubas is a busy man these days.The Pittsburgh Penguins president and general manager is also Canada’s GM at the ongoing World Championship in Sweden.Dubas is pulling double duty, guiding Canada in the tournament while conducting Penguins coaching interviews from Stockholm.I sense that the Penguins probably won’t have a new coach until late this month for two reasons: the logistics of Dubas being in Sweden, and Dubas not entering the process with one coach in mind. He wants to take his time getting to know candidates before he makes up his mind.AdvertisementOne candidate to watch is Washington Capitals assistant coach Mitch Love.Penguins team sources have told me that Love, who was a very successful junior and AHL coach, was impressive during his interview.He seems to be on the short list of favorites for the job.
