Leicester City: Craig Shakespeare 'out of order' for wanting Foxes job

Leicester City caretaker boss Craig Shakespeare is "out of order" for wanting to replace Claudio Ranieri, says ex-Arsenal defender Martin Keown.

The Foxes beat Hull 3-1 on Saturday and have won both of their games under Shakespeare since Ranieri's sacking.

"Suddenly he wants to be a manager. It doesn't sit that comfortably with me," Keown said on Match of the Day.

"If you're assistant manager to Ranieri and he's walked, why is it you suddenly want to be the manager?"

Shakespeare, 53, has never managed full-time and was brought to Leicester by Ranieri's predecessor Nigel Pearson.
