Leicester caretaker boss Craig Shakespeare yet to hear about job

Leicester City caretaker boss Craig Shakespeare is waiting to hear from the club about his job chances.

Shakespeare is waiting to learn if he has done enough to become Leicester manager on a permanent basis after a 3-1 victory over Hull.

Goals from Christian Fuchs and Riyad Mahrez and a Tom Huddlestone own goal overturned the lead given to Hull by Sam Clucas and gave the defending champions back-to-back league wins for the first time this season.

"I don't expect anything, I have an open mind," said Shakespeare after the match at the King Power Stadium.

"My position was made clear - I would be in charge for the Liverpool game and the Hull game. My remit was to win these two games and that's what we've done.

"The owners will make a decision for the good of the club and until I talk to them I don't know what that will be. But as I have said previously, I'm comfortable with that.

"I can't control it and there's no point worrying about it. The idea was always to sit down at some point next week and have a conversation."
