Leicester City Sack Manager Shakespeare by Afz9095(m): 4:40pm On Oct 17, 2017 |
The 2015-16 title winners have parted ways with the coach with the Foxes sat 18th in the Premier League table Leicester City have sacked manager Craig Shakespeare following a run of one win in eight Premier League matches this season, according to reports. The Daily Mail state that Shakespeare was relieved of his duties at the King Power Stadium at a meeting on Tuesday following a 1-1 draw with West Brom on Monday. Shakespeare took over from Claudio Ranieri when the Italian was sacked in February with Leicester in the midst of a relegation battle and rumours of a dressing room revolt. Leicester, shock title winners the season before, subsequently finished 12th with improved performances in the latter months of the campaign, leading to Shakespeare being rewarded with a three-year contract in June. However, a rocky run of results - in which they failed to defeat Huddersfield Town, Bournemouth and West Brom - led the Foxes board to take action against the 53-year-old. Two of their three victories this season had come in the Carabao Cup, where Leicester have reached the fourth round, and they are placed 18th out of 20 in the league table. Shakespeare had been assistant manager at Leicester for six years before transitioning into caretaker when Ranieri departed. DATE LEICESTER'S PL RESULTS IN 17-18 11-Aug Arsenal 4-3 Leicester City 19-Aug Leicester City 2-0 Brighton 26-Aug Manchester United 2-0 Leicester City 09-Sep Leicester City 1-2 Chelsea 16-Sep Huddersfield Town 1-1 Leicester City 23-Sep Leicester City 2-3 Liverpool 30-Sep Bournemouth 0-0 Leicester City 16-Oct Leicester City 1-1 West Brom His sacking has largely come out of the blue, with Ronald Koeman's position at Everton - two points above Leicester in 16th - attracting a greater degree of scrutiny among Premier League managers. Alan Pardew, Guus Hiddink, Gary Rowett, Sam Allardyce and former Foxes boss Nigel Pearson are among the initial front-runners for the newly-vacated job. It's been a tumultuous 12 months for Leicester, who had been riding high on the back of a shock Premier League title triumph a year ago. Now many are tipping the East Midlands club for a relegation battle under whoever succeeds Shakespeare at the helm of the Thai-owned club. The first match for the caretaker manager - or replacement, should they be hired before Saturday - will be a visit to relegation rivals Swansea City. source:http://www.goal.com/en-ng/news/leicester-city-sack-manager-shakespeare-after-poor-start-to/147i2zl6q5mjl16matbdq6fw33 Cc: lalasticlala, mynd44
