Leicester City sack manager, Craig Shakespeare
Leicester City Football Club has parted ways with its first team manager, Craig Shakespeare.
According to the club, Michael Appleton will be in
charge of the First Team as Caretaker Manager for Saturday’s Premier
League trip to Swansea City, supported by First Team Coaches Mike
Stowell and Adam Sadler.
Leicester City Vice Chairman, Aiyawatt Srivaddhanaprabha said: “Craig
has been a great servant to Leicester City during his spells as an
Assistant Manager and since taking over as Manager in challenging
circumstances in February. His dedication to the Club and to his work
has been absolute and the contribution he made to the most successful
period in Leicester City history is considerable. However, our early
promise under Craig’s management has not been consistently evident in
the months since and the Board feels that, regrettably, a change is
necessary to keep the Club moving forward consistent with the long-term
expectations of our supporters, Board and owners".
He continued to say, “Craig is and will remain a very popular,
respected figure at Leicester City and will be welcome back at King
Power Stadium in future, both professionally and as a friend of the
Club.”
The Club will now begin the process of identifying and appointing its
next First Team Manager and will make no further comment on the process
until the appropriate time.
