Former Leicester City manager Craig Shakespeare has died at the age of 60, his family has announced.
Shakespeare was undergoing treatment for cancer back in October 2023.
As well as managing Leicester, he also worked for West Brom, Hull, Everton, Watford, Aston Villa and Norwich and had a spell as England assistant boss in 2016.
A statement released on behalf of his family via the League Managers’ Association said Shakespeare “passed away peacefully at home surrounded by his family”.
Shakespeare was Claudio Ranieri’s assistant in 2015-16 when Leicester created one of football’s greatest stories to win the Premier League.
He replaced Ranieri as manager in February 2017 but, having been appointed permanently later in June on a three-year contract, was sacked in October.
