Leicester City have sacked manager Craig Shakespeare just four months after he signed a three-year deal to take the job on a permanent basis.<\/p>\n

The Foxes are third from bottom in the Premier League and have not won any of their past six league matches.<\/p>\n

Shakespeare, 53, succeeded title winner Claudio Ranieri in February, initially on a temporary basis.<\/p>\n

After steering the Foxes away from trouble to finish in 12th place, he was given the job permanently in June.<\/p>\n

Shakespeare won eight of his 16 games in charge last season, and led the club to the Champions League quarter-finals.<\/p>\n

His departure follows a 1-1 draw with West Brom on Monday.<\/p>\n

The last time Leicester went six league matches without a victory, Ranieri was sacked – nine months after leading them to the title.<\/p>\n

Of their 10 matches, this season – eight in the league and two in the EFL Cup – Leicester have won three and drawn three, losing four.<\/p>\n

But they have won only once in the league – a 2-0 victory at home to Brighton on 19 August.<\/p>\n

Their four defeats have come against Arsenal, Manchester United, Chelsea and Liverpool.<\/p>\n
