Who will manage Leicester City at Brentford if new boss not appointed
Leicester City intend to appoint a manager before Saturday’s trip to Brentford but should the new man not be in position, they will have an interim team in charge.
And their brief begins on Tuesday. While part of Steve Cooper’s staff at City, Ben Dawson, Andrew Hughes and Danny Alcock all remain at the club and they will take training when the players return to Seagrave to begin their build-up to Brentford.
Should no manager be appointed over the next few days, Dawson and team will lead out City at the Gtech Community Stadium. Here’s the lowdown on the three men...

Ben Dawson
Arriving from Newcastle in the summer after a decade at St James’ Park, Dawson joined Cooper a month after his appointment at City. They have known each other for some time, first working together as youth coach educators at the FA.
Dawson took on gradually more senior roles in the north east, first serving as a development coach in Newcastle’s academy before taking over as under-21s lead coach and head of academy coaching. His last role at Newcastle, which he held for three years, was as first-team development coach, with his focus on helping young stars navigate the path from youth to senior football.
Andrew Hughes
City’s set-piece coach Hughes will be supporting Dawson. In a near-20-year playing career, central midfielder Hughes played for seven different EFL clubs, most notably Norwich and Leeds.
And he’s represented plenty of clubs as a coach too. Over the past 10 years, he’s been at Bolton, Rotherham, Crystal Palace, Huddersfield, Sheffield United, Sheffield Wednesday and Norwich. With the latter, he stepped up to be first-team coach under David Wagner, and then took over set-piece duty in March 2023. He did such a good job that he was targeted by Cooper to come in as City’s set-piece specialist this summer.
Danny Alcock
While two of Cooper’s long-term collaborators in Alan Tate and Steve Rands have left with the manager, goalkeeping coach Alcock remains. Coming through the ranks at Stoke as a player and spending his career playing non-league football around the West Midlands, Alcock returned to the Potters as academy goalkeeping coach in 2010.
After nearly a decade there, he became goalkeeping coach for England’s under-20s, and from there he was recruited by Cooper to take on the same role at Nottingham Forest. He joined alongside the manager to perform the same job at City.
