Leicester City assistant manager Craig Shakespeare has been appointed as England first-team coach but will keep his position with the Premier League champions.
Shakespeare is to work alongside England manager Sam Allardyce and his assistant Sammy Lee ahead of their World Cup qualifier against Slovakia on Sept. 4.
He said: "This is a huge honour for me. Anyone involved in football knows that representing your country is something special and this caps off a brilliant year.

"Leicester have been really good to me and I am sure the international experience I get from being alongside Sam and Sammy will add to my work at the club. We will have an elite group of players and a great facility in St. George's Park. I can't wait to get started."
Allardyce said: "Craig will be a tremendous asset to England, and I am grateful to Leicester for their help in making this happen.
"Sammy and I know him well and he will bring his own insight to what we are trying to do with the squad. Players respect him and his achievement this past season means we will be getting someone who has a strong winning mentality."
Shakespeare returned to Leicester in 2011 under then-manager Nigel Pearson, and in the summer he signed a new contract following the club's shock success in the Premier League.
