Leicester City: Craig Shakespeare proud of historic start as manager

Leicester City manager Craig Shakespeare says he is "very proud" after making Premier League history by becoming the first English manager to win his first four games.

Only four other managers have achieved the feat - Pep Guardiola, Guus Hiddink, Jose Mourinho and Carlo Ancelotti.

"Sometimes you have to pinch yourself in terms of the names being mentioned," Shakespeare, 53, said.

"To be mentioned in the same breath as them, it makes me very proud."

Longest winning starts as a Premier League manager

Saturday's 2-0 win over Stoke lifted the Foxes above West Ham and Burnley and into 13th place.
