Shakespeare leaving West Brom for Leicester job

Craig Shakespeare is leaving West Brom to join the coaching staff at Leicester City.

Shakespeare, 44, joined Albion nine years ago as a recruitment officer before becoming youth team coach and subsequently reserve team boss. He played a major role as part of Tony Mowbray's management team last season as the Baggies won the Championship.

Mowbray said: "We are sorry to see Craig leave.

"He contributed greatly to our success last season but we didn't want to stand in his way."
