We’re appointing Rob MacKenzie, formerly of Leicester and Spurs to our Scouting group. He will be head of recruitment apparently https://www.expressandstar.com/sport/football/aston-villa/2020/08/06/aston-villa-swoop-for-former-leicester-and-tottenham-talent-spotter/

Set of articles written by him about modern scouting: https://www.skysports.com/football/news/11096/10723863/the-changing-face-of-scouting-rob-mackenzies-full-series-of-articlesI found them interesting anyway
I don't think there has been a better club in the Premier League for recruitment than Leicester in recent years. I know that their old defender Steve Walsh was a big part of that but he moved to the same role at Everton and wasn't so successful.
