Craig Shakespeare, the former Leicester City manager, has died at the age of 60.
Shakespeare was assistant manager to Claudio Ranieri during the Leicester’s title-winning season in 2016 and took over as first-team coach the following year. He worked at Everton, Watford, Aston Villa and Norwich, and was also assistant to Sam Allardyce in his short-lived tenure as England manager.
He underwent treatment for cancer in late 2023.
“Craig passed away peacefully this morning at home surrounded by his family”, his family said, via the League Managers’ Association.
Leicester chief executive Susan Whelan said: “Everyone at the club sends their strength and support to Craig, his wife Karen and their children Elle and Jed.”
