Chipolopolo striker Patson Daka will now be coached by Chelsea and England legend John Terry after Leicester City made changes to their technical bench.
Terry, 42, has joined the Dean Smith’s backroom staff at Liberty Way.
Smith was on Monday appointed as Leicester City First Team Manager until the end of the 2022/23 season taking over from Brendan Rodgers.
The former England defender is regarded as one of the Premier League’s greatest players of all time.
During his playing days, Terry’s career included an international career that involved playing in two FIFA World Cups and two UEFA European Championships for England, earning a total of 78 international caps.
The 42-year-old’s individual honours include winning PFA Players’ Player of the Year in 2004/05 and being named in the PFA Team of the Century, as well as in the FIFPro World XI for five successive seasons.
Once his playing days came to a close with Villa in 2018, reaching the Championship play-off final at the end of his final season, Terry became Smith’s assistant head coach at the Midlands club, spending three seasons at Villa Park, during which time promotion back to the Premier League was secured at the second attempt.
A return to Chelsea arrived in early 2022, in a coaching consultancy role within the club’s academy, prior to taking the job to work under Smith at Leicester.
Apart from Terry, Craig Shakespeare who is a figure well known to Leicester City supporters having managed the Club for an eight-month spell in 2017 and he also enjoyed several successful seasons as assistant manager and caretaker manager is also part of the backroom staff.
The Birmingham-born former midfielder became a significant figure in the Foxes’ history by playing a vital role in a journey which saw City rise from League 1 to Premier League winners and UEFA Champions League quarter-finalists.
The Foxes are currently second from bottom on the log with 25 points from 30 matches.
The Dean Smith led backroom staff will start their reign with tricky fixture against defending Champions, Manchester City on Saturday.
Daka must leave the club during summer window.
