Leicester City are set to appoint Craig Shakespeare as their new assistant manager.
Shakespeare has left his post as first-team coach at West Bromwich Albion to head to the Walkers Stadium, where he will assist new boss Nigel Pearson.
Shakespeare told the Birmingham Mail: "I've got very fond memories of West Brom and I've had nothing but good wishes from people.
"It was a hard decision to make because of my respect and my high regard for Tony Mowbray as a manager and as a person.
"But the same goes for the person I am joining at Leicester, Nigel Pearson. These are two guys I hold in high esteem.
"I made the decision for the sake of my career and hopefully it will turn out to be a good one."
