'The loss is devastating to us.'
Craig Shakespeare worked at several English football clubs Former Leicester City manager Craig Shakespeare has died at the age of 60, his family has announced. Shakespeare, who also worked for West Brom, Hull, Everton, Watford, Aston Villa and Norwich, was Claudio Ranieri’s assistant when Leicester won the Premier League at odds of 5000-1. He replaced Ranieri at the King Power Stadium in February 2017 when the Italian was sacked but also lost his job later that year.
Ex-Leicester boss Nigel Pearson, who worked with Shakespeare at five different clubs, said: ‘It’s difficult to put into words how I, and indeed everyone who came across or worked with Craig, will feel on hearing such devastating news. ‘He is without hesitation one of the most wonderfully talented, emotionally understanding, calm, balanced and outrageously funny people I’ve had the privilege of calling my friend.
