Leicester City assistant coach Conor Hourihane has left the club after just four months in the role. The former Republic of Ireland international retired as a player in December 2024 and immediately transitioned into coaching, first joining Barnsley as assistant head coach before moving to the Premier League side.
Hourihane's departure comes as a surprise given the short duration of his tenure at the King Power Stadium. The 38-year-old had been part of the backroom staff supporting the first team since his appointment earlier this year.
The midfielder made over 500 career appearances for clubs including Plymouth Argyle, Barnsley, Aston Villa, and Sheffield United, earning 35 caps for Ireland. His coaching career began at Oakwell before the move to Leicester represented his first Premier League coaching position.
