Khun Aiyawatt succeeds his father, the late Vichai Srivaddhanaprabha – who passed away in an accident involving his helicopter at the King Power Stadium on October 27th 2018.

Khun was the Vice-Chairman while his dad was alive, but his brother Apichet Srivaddhanaprabha will now take over the position.

Leicester remains wholly owned by the Srivaddhanaprabha family, and the Foxes have been a force to reckon with since they took over in 2010.
