Leicester City assistant manager Craig Shakespeare is appointed England's new first-team coach.

Leicester City assistant manager Craig Shakespeare has been appointed England's new first-team coach.

The 52-year-old will continue his role with Premier League champions Leicester, but will also now form part of new England boss Sam Allardyce's coaching team ahead of qualification for the 2018 World Cup.

Shakespeare, who has also previously worked with West Bromwich Albion and Hull City since retiring as a player in 2000, has joined assistant Sammy Lee as part of the Three Lions set-up.

"This is a huge honour for me. Anyone involved in football knows that representing your country is something special and this caps off a brilliant year," Shakespeare told the FA's official website.

"Leicester have been really good to me and I am sure the international experience I get from being alongside Sam and Sammy will add to my work at the club. We will have an elite group of players and a great facility in St. George's Park. I can't wait to get started."

Allardyce added: "Craig will be a tremendous asset to England, and I am grateful to Leicester for their help in making this happen. Sammy and I know him well and he will bring his own insight to what we are trying to do with the squad. Players respect him and his achievement this past season means we will be getting someone who has a strong winning mentality."

England begin their qualification process for the 2018 World Cup away to Slovakia on September 4.
