Leicester City board, just hours of announcing the sack of Shakespeare, are already lining up a number of managers likely to take on the job.
Shakespeare who only took on the job as a manager earlier in the year, after he was promoted from assistant coach to a manager. This was after the sacking of Premier League winner, Claudio Ranieri.
The results after that, have not been impressive, as Leicester after yet another draw with West Brom last night, are 18th in the league table.

The club vice-chairman released a statement saying:
"Craig has been a great servant to Leicester City -- during his spells as an assistant manager and since taking over as manager in challenging circumstances in February,
His dedication to the Club and to his work has been absolute and the contribution he made to the most successful period in Leicester City history is considerable.
However, our early promise under Craig's management has not been consistently evident in the months since and the Board feels that, regrettably, a change is necessary to keep the club moving forward -- consistent with the long-term expectations of our supporters, board and owners.
Craig is and will remain a very popular, respected figure at Leicester City and will be welcome back at King Power Stadium in future, both professionally and as a friend of the club."
Assistant manager Michael Appleton will lead the team on an interim basis for Saturday's game away to Swansea City."Meam while, former England manager, Big Sam Allardyce is favoured to take charge in the club, despite him announcing earlier in the year, that he was taking time off to be with his family.
