One ex-Fox has been appointed in a major role at Manchester United. The one-time LCFC defender will go straight into his new job after hanging up his playing boots in retirement. We will detail that story and explain the ins and outs. In addition to looking at news from Old Trafford, we travel to King Power Stadium as well. Foxes preseason friendlies begin on Saturday, July 5 with a kick about against Peterborough United penciled in.
Nevertheless, City are still without a team manager, worryingly. Yet there is no sign of an arrival at the most dysfunctional outfit in the English Football League at the moment! Staff are just seemingly leaving Leicestershire for good. And there has been a potentially significant exit at Leicester City Football Club with regard to executives. One Leicester director has finally left the East Midlands side. But it probably wasn't who the Blue Army fan base wanted or expected to go.
Ex-Fox Jonny Evans gets major Manchester United job
Jonny Evans is now enjoying a new role since retiring from his centre back craft. He is now Man Utd's head of loans and pathways. Basically, he'll be managing youths and temporarily departing Red Devils.
Leicester City director finally leaves club
I am sorry to report, but director of football Jon Rudkin has not yet departed Filbert Way. It looks to me as though Rudkin will always be 'Khun Top' Srivaddhanaprabha's man at the club. As the former was for the late, great 'Khun' Vichai, chairman Aiyawatt's father.
"The process of appointing our new CEO has been long and thorough, to ensure we hired the right person to lead the business side of the football club."
Hins chairman, Ian Gordon
So, with Rudkin still annoyingly in place and apparently immortal at the King Power irrespective of a drop in standards and a plethora of mistakes, which director did depart? Dan Barnett, described as a "key figure" at LCFC, has gone. He joined Scottish Premiership team Hibernian as their latest chief executive.
