Leicester sack Shakespeare

Leicester City sacked manager Craig Shakespeare on Tuesday after just four months in charge, British media reported.

Shakespeare, 53, replaced Claudio Ranieri on a caretaker basis in February and was handed a three-year contract in June. But the 2015-16 champions have struggled this season and are third from bottom of the table with a single league win.

Monday night's 1-1 home draw with West Brom saw Leicester's winless Premier League run reach six matches.
