Leicester will begin their search for a new manager after parting company with Sven-Goran Eriksson.
The Swede left his post by "mutual agreement" on Monday night following the club's mediocre start to the npower Championship season.
The Foxes had been heavily tipped for promotion, but a record of just five wins from 13 league games led to Eriksson's demise.
Academy director Jon Rudkin and coach Mike Stowell will take charge of the team as they prepare to face West Ham on Saturday and until a full-time replacement is appointed.
However, Leicester refused to give anything away over who would take the reins on a permanent basis.
A statement on their official website, www.lcfc.com, said: "Academy director Jon Rudkin and coach Mike Stowell will jointly assume the role of acting manager of the first team, with assistance from development coach Steve Beaglehole.
"This will begin with training on Tuesday morning ahead of Saturday's npower Championship trip to West Ham United.
"The process of recruiting a new permanent manager will begin in the coming days.
"There will be no further comments from the club or any comment on the recruitment process until an appointment is made."
