Dean Smith has been named Leicester City manager to the end of the season.

Smith moves to Leicester after his dismissal by Championship Norwich City earlier this year. He has also been in charge of Aston Villa and Brentford.

"The challenge in front of us is clear, but it's one myself and my coaching team have experienced before," Smith told the club website.

"With the quality in this squad and the number of games remaining, it's very much achievable."

Smith's first game in charge of Leicester is away to Premier League champions Manchester City on Saturday.

Former Foxes coach Craig Shakespeare returns to the King Power Stadium as Smith's assistant manager.

Leicester's current first team coaches Adam Sadler and Mike Stowell will stay on.
