Puel has had 2 interviews, so I think it's a fair bet he'll be the one, when the announcement is made, before the weekend:-

With Appleton and Plancque as Joint Assistant Managers?

Did anyone see Puel at the KP last night ?

Michael Appleton, the current caretaker, is not thought to want to stay with the Foxes but will be spoken to with a view to convincing him to remain with the club he left Oxford to join as assistant manager earlier in the year. - Independent

 

Bit different to what he said on MOTD.... ?!

He's now talking about who he wants in his Coaching team! Indeed, Appleton and Plancque are in there.

I've been speaking to someone who knows Puel from his Monaco days. Puel has always worked with two Assistant Managers / First Team Coaches. At Southampton, he chose Pascal Plancque as one, who he worked with at Lille; Eric Black was the other. Plancque apparently is uncertain about whether to join us, as he has got a job back in France. Puel also got in touch with John Collins (Celtic), who was with him at Monaco, but Collins has also decided to stay where he is. So CP is still looking to find someone to work with Appleton. The plan would be for Appleton to be responsible for most of the Training Ground work, with someone else dealing with all the Tactical stuff.

Not sure 2 assistant managers will work ...which 1 is gonna take charge when Puel gets the sack??

Ranieri had two assistant managers, Craig Shakespeare and Paolo Benetti so having two assistants is not at all unheard of.

Three including Steve Walsh! I don't think his official title ever changed after Nige left

BBC Radio Leicester Sport have just posted on Twitter, that Plancque has now agreed to come to City. He will be Joint Assistant with Appleton, with responsibility for tactical coaching.

Hes'a a summariser for BBC One's FA Cup coverage this afternoon. Doubt they'll discuss Leicester much, but you never know...
