The former Grimsby Town and West Bromwich Albion midfielder then followed that up with another 3-1 win, defeating Hull City.Leicester vice chairman Aiyawatt Srivaddhanaprabha confirmed the news, praising Shakespeare's leadership of the club since taking temporary charge.  “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," Srivaddhanaprabha told the club's official 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.”</blockquote>
