Leicester City

Youth roles

Rudkin was appointed the Academy Manager at Leicester City in June 2003 having previously been a schoolboy in the City youth system himself when he was 16 and working as a youth coach since 1998.[ citation needed ] After working as a coach on a part-time basis Rudkin took up the full-time post of Head Coach at the then centre of excellence.[ citation needed ] During that period Leicester produced a number of outstanding talents which have progressed from the Academy to local radio– including Emile Heskey and Matt Piper.[ citation needed ]

Rudkin holds the UEFA Pro licence and has completed the Academy Director's licence.[ citation needed ] On 29 August 2007, he jointly took over managerial responsibility of Leicester after Martin Allen left by mutual consent. [2]

Rudkin has since overseen the development of players through the Leicester City youth academy such as Andy King, Joe Mattock, Richard Stearman, Jeffrey Schlupp and Liam Moore.[ citation needed ] All five having gained international recognition in the form of either a full international cap or an Under-21 international cap.[ citation needed ]

Director of Football

On 14 December 2014, Rudkin replaced the outgoing Terry Robinson as director of football. Since his appointment, Rudkin has received criticism from Leicester fans for missing out on a number of transfer targets. This culminated in an embarrassing episode for the club in August 2017, where transfer documentation was sent to the Football Association 14 seconds too late to complete the signing of Sporting CP midfielder Adrien Silva. This is despite Rudkin having sanctioned the sale of midfielder Danny Drinkwater to Chelsea only minutes earlier. [3]

In 2016, Rudkin served as director of the OH Leuven under the King Power International Group.
