LONDON (Reuters) - Considering all the drama that he has navigated so expertly this season, Leicester City's manager Craig Shakespeare can be expected to oversee the biggest game in the club's history at Atletico Madrid on Wednesday night with real aplomb. Shakespeare has done just that -- and how his team have responded. In his two spells at the club, as assistant first to Nigel Pearson in the former manager's two spells in charge and then under Ranieri, Shakespeare has been at the club for eight of the past nine years. Allardyce, a shrewd judge of football talent, had been quick to appoint Shakespeare part-time coach before triggering his own downfall in a newspaper sting. Wiser and warier of what can lurk around football's corners, Shakespeare retreated to Leicester where he, and his close-knit team, have proved the season's great survivors.
