Stowell – who kept goal for Wolves throughout the 1990s, making 448 appearances for the club – will be joined in the dugout by fellow Foxes first-team coach Adam Sadler.

Puel was axed after Leicester’s 4-1 home defeat to Crystal Palace on Saturday evening extended their miserable run to six losses in their last seven games, including a defeat to League Two side Newport in the FA Cup.

The Foxes have slipped to 12th place in the Premier League table, just eight points above the relegation places.
