When the chairman says the planning for the new season has already begun after relegation, but the manager says there have been no discussions with the club, it was clear the plan didn't involve RvN. #LCFC. Here is how we have come to this point.

So sad. What a character Brad was. Always had a joke and a smile in the media suite, whatever the score. Always took the micky out of my accent by greeting me with ‘olright our kid?’ Epitomised what #LCFC has always been about, for me, and why it is a special club.
"And now, your Leicester City side!" 🦊. Leicester City's long-serving Stadium Announcer Bradley Varnam has sadly passed away at the age of 56, following a short illness. Brad was the voice of City matchdays for over 25 years, starting at Filbert Street in 1997 and continued

As expected a while ago now. Kingy the only member of RvN’s coaching staff left. #LCFC.
Jelle ten Rouwelaar has joined Brighton from Leicester as the new goalkeeping coach, as per @TheAthleticFC on June 6. #BHAFC .Fabian Hurzeler: “I’m pleased that we get someone who already worked with Bart (Verbruggen).”

It was a question of when, not if, RvN would leave #LCFC. It is now a question of why it took so long. PSR probably. City return for preseason on Monday without a manager and with several backroom staff gone. Jelle will follow. It is certainly not ideal.

The Dutchman won just four of his 24 Premier League matches in charge after replacing Steve Cooper in November.

One #LCFC assistant has left. Another is expected to follow. Preseason starts at the end of the month. But still no clarity on RvN’s future. Leicester’s Van Nistelrooy limbo is excruciating and fuelling anxiety around the King Power

A good opportunity for Barry-Murphy but so far this summer has been all about departures at #LCFC. RvN’s future still unresolved at this point. Brian Barry-Murphy appointed Cardiff City head coach

Barry-Murphy, 46, had worked as assistant to Ruud van Nistelrooy at Leicester City since December.

Felt for @LeicesterTigers today. They got absolutely nothing from @kdickson9 in the vast majority of contentious moments in the game and couldn’t get momentum as a result, but kept fighting back. 👏🐅.

It is a rare piece of positive news at #LCFC. But what does the scholar deal and conditional pro contract mean for Monga and City?. Jeremy Monga’s Leicester City future: Where do the club stand after 15-year-old commits to 2026 pro deal?
