Leicester have appointed Gary Rowett as their manager until the end of the season.
Former Foxes midfielder Rowett had been out of work since leaving Oxford United in December but comes in with Leicester languishing in the Championship relegation zone, having been hit with a six-point deduction for breaching PSR rules.
The former Premier League champions are on a dismal run of just two wins from their last 11 Championship fixtures, a streak which includes eight defeats and has left them third-bottom in the standings, two points from safety.
Leicester sacked Marti Cifuentes in January and coach Andy King has been in interim charge for the last four matches, including Saturday's FA Cup exit to Southampton and an incredible 4-3 turnaround loss to the same opponents last week.
Rowett will be joined by Callum Davidson as his assistant manager.

Rowett move displays Leicester's current plight
Sky Sports EFL Editor Simeon Gholam:
"It shows how things have changed at Leicester City that they are turning to Gary Rowett to save them from plunging into League One.
"And it shows where the Foxes are that it has taken nearly four weeks to make this appointment after sacking Marti Cifuentes.
"The situation is bleak. Rowett knows the Championship well, but naysayers will look to the fact his last two jobs have seen him end with Birmingham relegated from the second tier in 2024 (albeit on an interim basis after just eight games in charge) and with Oxford in the drop zone in December.
"Maybe it'll be the whip-up that Leicester need. Rowett rarely wins plaudits for the style of his teams, but they are rarely lacking in endeavour - which is something the Foxes have sorely lacked this season.
"It is a squad that should be nowhere near the relegation zone, even with the six-point deduction. If Rowett can get them running again, and end this dismal run, they really still ought to be fine."
