England manager Sam Allardyce adds Leicester coach Craig Shakespeare to backroom staff

Leicester assistant manager Craig Shakespeare is to take up a part-time position with England alongside new boss Sam Allardyce.

Allardyce has been busy shaping his backroom staff, with the likes of Martyn Margetson joining as goalkeeping coach from Wales alongside Sammy Lee.

Shakespeare's responsibilities at Leicester will remain unchanged as he will link up with England during the international breaks, having completed his UEFA Pro Licence earlier this summer.
