Ex-Brighton and Hove Albion boss Micky Adams has been confirmed as the new manager at Leicester City.

Adams has taken over from Dave Bassett, who has been made director of football.

Adams went to Filbert Street as Bassett's number two in October after clinching Albion's promotion to Division Two.

He took the job on the understanding he would eventually take charge of team affairs.

His first match in charge will be a friendly against Celtic on Monday.

He will then be in charge for the four remaining Barclaycard Premiership games of the season.
