Leicester City is on the hunt for new recruits ahead of the January transfer window, seeking to bolster their squad with two key staff members.
The scouting and recruitment department at the club has opened up two job vacancies, signaling the ambition of manager Enzo Maresca to further strengthen his team this winter. Discussions regarding transfers took place during the recent international break.
To fill these crucial roles, Leicester City has advertised for a Lead UK Scout and a Data Analyst on their official website. These positions are not only important for the upcoming transfer window but also for future planning in subsequent transfer periods.
The Lead UK Scout role requires an individual with extensive experience in an elite scouting environment. This person will be responsible for player scouting, report presentations, and leading a team of scouts.
As for the Data Analyst position, Leicester City is looking for candidates with computer programming and data science expertise, along with a good understanding of football data sources.
Martyn Glover, an experienced transfer chief, oversees the club’s recruitment department. According to his LinkedIn page, former Leicester defender Sean St. Ledger is one of the talent spotters working in this department.
It has come to LeicestershireLive’s attention that at least one UK-based scout was let go by the club earlier this year after Leicester City’s relegation to the Championship.
