London: Leicester City sacked manager Craig Shakespeare on Tuesday after just four months in charge of the former Premier League champions, British media reported.

Shakespeare took over the reins following the departure of Claudio Ranieri and was given the job on a permanent basis in June but Leicester have struggled this season and are third from bottom of the table.
