Leicester boss Shakespeare says fate will be decided after Sunday

Leicester City boss Craig Shakespeare claims his future will be decided after Leicester's final match of the season against Bournemouth on Sunday.

The Foxes have shown a marked improvement under Shakespeare. The Englishman replaced title-winning coach Claudio Rainieri in Febraury, and he has since gone on to win 8 out of his 14 matches and take Leicester to a Champions League quarter final against Atletico.

With his interim manager contract due to end after the season's conclusion, Shakespeare is expecting a speedy decision from Foxes owner Vichai Srivaddhanaprabha.

"The end of the season is Sunday, so after that. I expect it in the following days after Sunday," said the former Foxes assistant.

"Of course in my head, I have ideas on that and when we sit down I'll be able to give them my thoughts.

"As a manager and a coach you have to have ideas and thoughts and the thought process in your head and ready.

"But you don't want to jump ahead and you don't want to do things like that. I'm not an off-the-cuff person. I like to be organised."
