Into The Foxes' Den: Gary Rowett - The steady hand Leicester need, but what will he bring?

Rowett has built a long managerial career across the English Football League by being dependable, pragmatic and tactically flexible. He is not a coach wedded to ideology or stylistic dogma. Instead, his reputation rests on his ability to organise teams, restore structure and make them competitive quickly - qualities that could prove vital for a Leicester side searching for consistency.

Rowett’s teams are typically built from the back. Defensive organisation is the foundation of his approach, and he places significant emphasis on compactness between the lines and collective responsibility out of possession.
