Leicester: Shakespeare to discuss manager job next week

Leicester caretaker manager Craig Shakespeare says he will not know until "the middle of next week" if he will get the job on a permanent basis.

Shakespeare, 53, has been in charge since the Premier League champions sacked Claudio Ranieri on 23 February.

The Foxes host Hull City in the league on Saturday at 15:00 GMT, after which they will take a training break.

Shakespeare then expects to sit down with the club's owners once the squad returns on Wednesday.

He previously met with vice-chairman Aiyawatt Srivaddhanaprabha and director of football Jon Rudkin on Wednesday but says the possibility of him taking over full time "never came up".
