Leicester appoint Claude Puel as new manager

Thursday, 26 October 2017 16:00

Leicester City have appointed the former Southampton boss Claude Puel as their new manager.

The Frenchman has joined the Foxes on a three-year deal, replacing Craig Shakespeare, who was initially brought in as caretaker manager when the club parted ways with title-winning Claudio Ranieri.

Puel, 56, was sacked in June after leading the Saints to eighth in his first season in charge, as well as reaching the EFL Cup final.

Leicester currently sit at 14th in the Premier League table, with two wins from nine games, and with this new appointment have taken on board their third manager in a year.
