Craig Shakespeare has been appointed Leicester City manager until the end of the season.
The 53-year-old has been in caretaker charge since Claudio Ranieri was sacked on 23 February, nine months after winning the Premier League title.
Shakespeare, who has never managed full- time, was Ranieri’s assistant after being brought to the club by the Italian’s predecessor, Nigel Pearson.
Leicester have won both of their games with him in charge.
Shakespeare’s first match as caretaker manager was a 3-1 league victory over Liverpool, and they beat Hull City by the
same scoreline.
The Foxes are three points clear of the relegation zone in 15th.
Leicester host Sevilla in the second leg of their last-16 Champions League tie on Tuesday. The Spanish side won the first leg
2-1.
