Leicester appoint former Man City and Chelsea goalkeeper Willy Caballero as assistant manager as Enzo Maresca continues to build backroom staff

Leicester have appointed former Manchester City and Chelsea goalkeeper Willy Caballero as assistant manager.

The Foxes are continuing to reshuffle their backroom team following their relegation from the Premier League just six years after winning the top division title.

They opted against giving Dean Smith the job full time, instead appointing former City coach Enzo Maresca as their new manager.

The appointment brings and end to Caballero's playing career, which began at Boca Juniors in his homeland of Argentina and ended with Southampton.

He is the fifth addition to new boss Enzo Maresca's backroom team and will head to the Championship club following an 18-month spell at the Saints.
