Leicester sack Craig Shakespeare after poor start to season - reports
Leicester manager Craig Shakespeare praises his team's fight after they came back to earn a draw against West Brom.
Leicester have parted company with manager Craig Shakespeare following Monday's 1-1 draw with West Bromwich Albion, according to multiple reports.
The former Premier League champions sit 18th in the table after only one win in their opening eight games of the campaign, a 2-0 win against Brighton on Aug. 19.
The Daily Mail's initial story was soon followed by Sky Sports and the BBC. Leicester were not immediately available for comment when contacted by ESPN FC.
Sky added that former boss Nigel Pearson -- who is now in charge of Belgian club OH Leuven -- was not a candidate for a return to the King Power Stadium.
Shakespeare was named permanent Leicester manager on a three-year contract in June after keeping them in the Premier League last season.
He replaced Claudio Ranieri, who was sacked in February, on a temporary basis and led the club to six consecutive wins in all competitions and eight wins in 16 games overall.
