    Leicester City have appointed former Barnsley boss Conor Hourihane as assistant manager and Rhys Owen as fitness coach.

    Hourihane, 35, left Barnsley at the end of last season after 14 months in charge, leading them to a 15th-place finish in League One in his first managerial role.

    Rhys Owen previously worked with manager Russell Martin at Norwich City, Swansea City, Southampton and Rangers.

    As a result of these appointments, Leicester have announced the departures of first-team coach Adam Sadler and set-piece coach Andy Hughes.

    Leicester suffered a second successive relegation at the end of last season and will start the League One season away at newly promoted Notts County on Saturday, 15 August (12:30 BST).
