Leicester City Announce Restructure To Claude Puel's Coaching Staff

PRESS RELEASE
Just Now
2 Minutes
Leicester City can today announce a restructure of Manager Claude Puel’s First Team coaching staff ahead of the 2018/19 season.

- Leicester City reveal Claude Puel’s new coaching team ahead of 2018/19 season
- Jacques Bonnevay joins the Club as Assistant Manager, as Michael Appleton departs
- Pascal Planque, Mike Stowell and new First Team Coach Adam Sadler complete senior coaching team
- First group of Foxes players due to report for pre-season on Monday 

Jacques Bonnevay – a respected coach of nearly 20 years’ experience – has joined the Club as Claude’s new Assistant Manager. They will be supported by the senior coaching team of Pascal Plancque, Mike Stowell and new First Team Coach Adam Sadler.

Meanwhile, the Club has reached an agreement with Michael Appleton that will see him leave his assistant managerial position with immediate effect.

Leicester City Manager Claude Puel said: “As we prepare to welcome the players back for the start of pre-season, I’m delighted to have a strong team of experienced, skilled and dedicated staff working to prepare the squad for the season ahead.

“Between our coaching, sports medicine, sports science and operational staff, we have a very good mix of characters and experience that will give great support to our players throughout the season.

“I would like to take this opportunity to thank Michael Appleton for everything he has done to help me during his time with the Club. He’s a good man, a strong character and an excellent coach with the leadership qualities to continue building a successful career. We all wish him well in his future career.”

Following a distinguished playing career with FC Sochaux, Olympique Marseille, Le Havre, OGC Nice and Red Star, Frenchman Jacques Bonnevay started a journey as a coach that would take him to three different continents in club and international football.

As well as spells with AS Beauvais, Troyes AC, Angers SCO and FC Nantes in his native France, Jacky, 57, has coached in Morocco, the UAE, Turkey and most recently spent three years on the coaching staff of the Japanese national team.

Newcastle-born Adam Sadler, 38, joined the Foxes as a tactical analyst in 2014 and has become a valued part of the First Team setup over the last four years, increasing his coaching responsibilities in the last 12 months.

Having been on the books of Manchester United as a young player, he turned to coaching aged 20 and worked for over eight years at Newcastle United in a number of coaching roles, including reserve team manager. Following spells with Norwich City and Plymouth Argyle, he spent two seasons as Under-18 coach at Manchester City before joining Leicester following the Club’s promotion to the Premier League.

Claude Puel and his staff will begin preparations for the new Premier League campaign on Monday when the first group of players report back to Belvoir Drive for pre-season training.

Monday’s group will not include players involved in international matches after 2 June, whose return to training will be staggered over the coming weeks.

Surprised it’s tajen this long to be honest.

im guessing they were waiting for Appleton to find another job.

him and Puel couldn’t have sat further away from each other in the last few games of the season, they had obviously fallen out

I not surprised, never saw Puel and Appleton being on the same page, surprised the club have paid off thou.

 

Interesting to guess whether Appleton is being made a bit of a Scape goat for the end of the season.

 

Puel has no excuses know, he's own staff, a pre season and a summer transfer window.

They clearly fell out at the end of last season. I do hope that we don’t lack that link between players and coaches as Appleton seemed to provide it. 

 

Hopefully it helps Puel get the best out of our team and squad.

Puel is here to stay. Not surprising, a change of manager would've been announced weeks ago already.

 

Zut alors!

 

Mais Claude, est-ce qu'on va encore acheter deux ou trois milieux de terrain à gauche et à droite?

Appleton is obviously highly respected, but if he doesn’t fit in, it’s best he goes in to bigger and better things.

Doubt whether he'll go to a "bigger" Club than Leicester City     -      unless Blackpool want him back!!

Why can I find nothing on Jacques Bonnevay anywhere on the ‘ternet other than relating to the press release?

 

No evidence he warrants a step up to Assistant Manager or successful teams he has been involved with in the past. No obvious relationship with Puel from the past either, other than the obvious nationality link.

 

Seems a bit odd.
