Leicester City are to create a new role of technical director as part of a restructure that is mooted to see Jon Rudkin's job as director of football changed.
Already an interim managing director has been appointed, with business strategist Kamonthip Netthanomsak brought in to "focus" on both operational and commercial areas of the club "during a period of executive transition".
Fresh footballing expertise is being sought by a club that has been relegated from the Premier League twice in three years, with the search for a technical director now underway.
The planned change is seen as as moving Rudkin "upstairs", although in an interview posted on the club's website, chairman and owner Khun Aiyawatt 'Top' Srivaddhanaprabha did not go into detail.
