Tributes pour in for 'incredible man' Shakespeare
Tributes have been pouring in from those who worked with former Leicester City manager Craig Shakespeare, who has died at the age of 60.
A statement released on behalf of his family via the League Managers' Association said Shakespeare "passed away peacefully at home surrounded by his family". Shakespeare was undergoing treatment for cancer back in October 2023.
He was assistant manager at Leicester under Nigel Pearson, as they earned promotion to the Premier League, and remained in the role under Claudio Ranieri in 2015-16 when Leicester created one of football's greatest stories to win the Premier League.
Shakespeare also worked for West Brom, Hull, Everton, Watford, Aston Villa and Norwich and had a spell as England assistant boss in 2016.
Football writer Henry Winter tells Ady Dayman what made Shakespeare so special.
