Commenting on the news, Leicester boss Russell Martin said: ‘I think purely down to a really honest conversation between me and Conor. He really wants to be a manager again. I'm really grateful he joined as a coach and wanted to learn.
‘There's been opportunities that have come up here and abroad that maybe would have interested him if he'd been out of work. So we have to recognise that we want people here that are all in. It frees him up to take an opportunity.’
