Leicester are unlikely to replace coaches Ben Dawson and Danny Alcock after the pair left the Foxes.

First-team coach Dawson and goalkeeping coach Alcock's departure was announced by the club earlier on Monday.

The decision was taken to help Ruud van Nistelrooy as he battles to save the Foxes from relegation, with the side second bottom of the Premier League.

First-team coach Jelle ten Rouwelaar, who followed van Nistelrooy to the King Power Stadium after his appointment November, is a goalkeeping coach so there is no expectation Alcock's role will be filled.

Coach Brian Barry-Murphy has made a positive impact since moving to the club in December with the squad impressed with the clarity and quality he brings to the training sessions. Barry-Murphy was Manchester City's elite development squad head coach until last summer.

Set piece coach Andy Hughes remains at the club, having joined from Norwich in the summer, while Premier League winner Andy King returned to the Foxes as their Under-18 assistant coach last week.
