Leicester have confirmed the appointment of Dean Smith as their new manager until the end of the season.
The ex-Aston Villa and Norwich City head coach has agreed a deal to replace Brendan Rodgers at the King Power Stadium after Jesse Marsch walked away from negotiations with Foxes chiefs. Smith, who was sacked by the Canaries in December, will look to keep the 2016 Premier League winners in the top flight after a nightmare season for the Midlands club.
They are currently in the midst of a real battle at the bottom and sit 19th, two points adrift of 17th-place Nottingham Forest.
