Craig Shakespeare has been appointed as Leicester City manager until the end of the season.
The 53-year-old landed the role after winning two Premier League matches during his spell as caretaker boss.
Shakespeare has led the Foxes to 3-1 victories over Liverpool and Hull City since taking charge of first-team duties following Claudio Ranieri's sacking.
The coach, who served as the Italian's deputy after former Leicester boss Nigel Pearson brought him to the club, has never managed on a full-time basis.
"Craig's skills as a coach and the high regard in which he is held by everyone the club were well known to us. We always knew the team would be in good hands when we asked him to take charge a fortnight ago," Leicester vice chairman Aiyawatt Srivaddhanaprabha told the club's website.
"He has initiated the type of positive response that we hoped change would bring, showing great leadership qualities and composure under considerable pressure to produce two very important results. We have asked him to continue to lead the team this season and we are very happy that he has accepted."
Two wins under Shakespeare has helped Leicester climb away from the relegation zone, with a three-point cushion between them and the bottom three.
Leicester take on Sevilla in the second leg of their Champions League last-16 tie on Tuesday.
