Stowell, Sadler & Knudsen To Depart Coaching Team
- Mike Stowell, Adam Sadler and Lars Knudsen to leave Leicester City
- First Team Coaches Stowell and Sadler depart after a combined 27 years of service to the Football Club
The trio bid farewell to the Foxes with the best wishes of everyone at Leicester City, with Mike and Adam in particular leaving significant imprints on the Club’s recent history during periods of considerable success.
First Team and Goalkeeper Coach Mike has been an integral part of the Leicester City family since 2005. A skilled coach and a respected figure among players and staff, he has been a constant throughout the Club’s rise from League One to the heights of Premier League and FA Cup triumphs.
Mike’s contribution to Leicester City during that time went beyond his coaching role, having also stepped up to help the Club by taking caretaker charge of the team in six spells covering 10 games in total, between 2007 and 2023.
Also playing an important role during Leicester City’s recent successes has been Adam, who joined the Club as Tactical Analyst under Nigel Pearson in 2014 and saw his role extended to into an important day-to-day coaching capacity in the years since.
Along with Mike, Adam has supported the Club by helping to lead the team in two separate spells over recent seasons, with his depth of knowledge and qualities as a coach proving valuable assets for six different Leicester City managers during his nine years with the Club.
Lars, who joined the Club in 2022 as a First Team Set Play Coach, will also depart with the thanks and best wishes of the Club after a season on Filbert Way. He arrived with a particular expertise in set-play preparation having had significant success in Denmark with FC Midtjylland.
Leicester City extends its heartfelt gratitude to all three coaches for their invaluable commitment and contributions during their time with the Club, and in particular to Mike and Adam, whose dedication and devotion during a combined 27 years of service to Leicester City has earned them the respect and friendship of colleagues past and present throughout the Club.
They have been integral parts of some of the most extraordinary moments in our history, which leave an indelible mark in the memories of all Leicester City supporters. As they embark on new chapters in their careers, we wish them every success in their future endeavours and look forward to welcoming them back to King Power Stadium as guests, opponents, and friends in the years to come.
