Nigerian international and Leicester City forward, Kelechi Iheanacho’s manager Craig Shakespeare has been sacked by the club.

The club has only won once in eight Premier League games this season and the club have decided to part with Shakespeare less than 24 hours after a 1-1 draw with West Brom on Monday Night Football.

He was the assistant coach to Claudio Ranieri during the monumental Premier League title triumph in 2015-16 and then succeeded him, at first on a caretaker basis, in February before signing a three-year contract to take the job permanently in June.

The popular coach won his first six matches in charge, including victories over Liverpool in the Premier League and Sevilla in the Champions League knockout stage, and won twice more to ensure safety in the top flight.

Leicester City spent around £60m on new players in the summer, including £25m on striker Kelechi Iheanacho and £15m on Sevilla’s skipper Vincent Iborra, but sold key player Danny Drinkwater and failed to replace him with Adrien Silva by missing the transfer deadline by 14 seconds.

Algerian Riyad Mahrez’s second-half equaliser to West Bromwich Albion saw Leicester City earn just sixth points so far and remain in the Premier League’s bottom three.
