Leicester City now seeking managers in three main roles after 'exceptional' coach leaves

Ben Petty has left to join Brendan Rodgers' former assistant Chris Davies as he embarks on his first managerial job at Birmingham City

Leicester City are now without a manager for their three leading teams with Under-21s boss Ben Petty leaving to become assistant manager at Birmingham City.

City are already on the hunt for new men’s and women’s first-team managers and will now need somebody to lead their development squad too after Petty ended his eight-year association with the club. He’s heading to St Andrew’s, where he will be number two to Brendan Rodgers’ City assistant Chris Davies, who is embarking on his first step as a head coach.

Petty joined City from Aston Villa in 2016 as assistant to Steve Beaglehole at Under-21 level, taking over the main job in 2021. While City’s Under-21s haven’t often challenged at the top of the Premier League 2 table in that time, plenty of players have graduated from the development squad to the senior team, including the likes of Ben Nelson, Kasey McAteer, Wanya Marcal, Will Alves, and Sammy Braybrooke.

 

City said: “Ben leaves with the thanks of everyone at Leicester City for his contribution to the Club’s Development Pathway over the last eight years and best wishes for the next step in his career.”

Petty will be aiming to help Birmingham back to the Championship after their relegation last season. Davies said Petty is exactly the right character to help the Blues achieve their aims.

“Firstly, Ben is an exceptional coach and his record of developing and improving players, speaks for itself,” Davies told Birmingham’s official website. “Equally as important to me, is that he is exactly the type of character who will help bring success to the club. His work ethic, standards and values reflect what I believe in and what we want to add to the culture here.”

If nothing else, it should get us a few young lads off to Birmingham on loan next season surely.

i’d imagine they’d be after nelson braybrooke and alves then. Maybe Marcal

Would like to think they'll be getting higher than a League 1 loan if they do go out.

More likely Lewis Brunt and some of his other ex Villa brigade.

When Enzo Maresca left for Chelsea two weeks ago, six staff members followed him out of Leicester City.

Five of those were familiar names like Willy Caballero and Danny Walker, coaches who had been announced as joining Maresca’s team of staff at City last summer. But for Roberto Vitiello, his inclusion in the list of departees was a surprise. This was the first time he had ever been mentioned by the club.

Vitiello was Maresca’s assistant at Parma and was rumoured to be taking on the same job at City before Caballero arrived. But it seems Vitiello did have a role at City.

 

 

 

It’s been established he acted as a development coach, working with the under-21s, feeding back to Maresca on players’ performances in games and training, and acting as a bridge for those players who could step up to the first team. He will take on a similar role at Chelsea.

Perhaps it is Vitiello's influence that prompted Maresca to give Brandon Cover, Tawanda Maswanhise, and Arjan Raikhy their debuts last season, and to include Logan Briggs and Silko Thomas on the bench too.

Big opportunity for the academy to get a good u21 manager and coaches in? Do wonder if we will just promote someone like Lee tomlin to the role who’s been coaching the 18s/21s I believe.

Sounds like he kind of covered part of the role Paul McGuinness did before he left

 

I wonder if we will ever replace him properly

Zero chance. 

because he was disliked? or because the club has bigger plans? 

 

Personally think smashing it in league 1 for a big club like birmingham would be a decent loan for any of them. As it’s the minutes that matter

Hasn't Kingy being doing his coaching badges?

Obviously would be starting at u21 level, and he may be hoping for something different, and from our point of view, we would be getting someone starting fresh with no previous experience as a coach, and perhaps not ideal, but I'm a sentimental old git these days, and would just love to see Kingy back at the club!

He wouldn’t even have to start off as the u21s manager. Could work with someone for the first few seasons as he learns the ropes.

 

Would love him back here, as everyone else would. I think he said his wife is from Leicester as well, could increase his chances of coming back..

At this stage, just give him the first team manager role!

I don't think he ever actually moved to Bristol to be fair.
