Tributes have been paid to the former Leicester manager, Craig Shakespeare, who has died at the age of 60. Shakespeare, who was diagnosed with cancer last year, held numerous roles during his coaching career, most notably as assistant to Claudio Ranieri when Leicester won their surprise Premier League title in 2015-2016.
After the Italian was sacked the following season, Shakespeare replaced him as manager but lasted less than a season before leaving the role. He was assistant to Sam Allardyce during his one-game tenure as England manager and also coached at Hull, Watford, Aston Villa, Norwich and Everton after a playing career with Walsall, Sheffield Wednesday, West Brom, Grimsby and Scunthorpe.
