Leicester City has hired Craig Shakespeare as manager for the remainder of the season. 

Claudio Ranieri’s former No. 2 was in put in charge in the wake of his firing.

Shakespeare is currently in Dubai with Leicester for their warm-weather training camp and it is understood that the 53-year-old has held talks with Vichai Srivaddhanaprabha, the chairman, and Aiyawatt, his son, who also travelled to the United Arab Emirates.

Shakespeare's only objective between now and the end of the season will be to deliver Premier League survival, which is firmly within Leicester’s grasp.
