The 41-year-old Argentine arrives as Assistant Manager following an 18-month spell as a player with Southampton. He brings with him a wealth of experience from a playing career that has spanned over two decades across Argentina, Spain and England.
Caballero becomes the fifth addition to the manager’s backroom team following the appointment of First Team Coach Danny Walker, Goalkeeper Coach Michele De Bernardin, Fitness Coach Marcos Alvarez and Analyst Javier Molina Caballero.
The former goalkeeper and Argentina international has enjoyed a successful playing career in England, representing Manchester City for three seasons from 2014 and spending four campaigns with Chelsea. During those spells he picked up League Cup, FA Cup, UEFA Champions League and UEFA Europa League winners’ medals.
He now links up with the Leicester City squad with preparations underway for a pre-season friendly away to Northampton Town on Saturday 15 July (3pm kick-off) and ahead of the Championship season opener at home to Coventry City on Sunday 6 August (12pm kick-off).
