\"ClaudioIt\u2019s hard to believe that only 6 months ago Claudio Ranieri was being hailed as a god for leading Leicester City to the unlikeliest Premiership title ever. In all honesty, he deserved that accolade. What he achieved was incredible, and it showed what a great manager he is.<\/p>\n

I was amazed that Leicester maintained their run of form last season. I fully expected their bubble to burst, and for them to finish mid-table. But they didn\u2019t \u2013 and they won the title comfortably. It wasn\u2019t a fluke, and their success was down to both Ranieri and the players.<\/p>\n

This season didn\u2019t start (nor has it continued) so well, and even just a handful of matches in there were calls from Leicester supporters for Ranieri to be sacked (I heard one dickhead on 5Live saying that). Given that these same supporters had, less than three months earlier, been dancing in the streets as a result of an almost impossible Premiership title, words such as hypocrites, scumbags, idiots, backstabbers, and so on sprang to mind.<\/p>\n

I just saw in the news that he has been sacked<\/a>.<\/p>\n

For the first time ever I agree with something Jose Mourinho has said (in a tweet):<\/p>\n

\n

CHAMPION OF ENGLAND and FIFA MANAGER of THE YEAR\u26bd\ufe0f.sacked. Thats the new football claudio.keep smiling AMICO.nobody can delete the history you wrote. <\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Gary Lineker adds:<\/p>\n

\n

After all that Claudio Ranieri has done for Leicester City, to sack him now is inexplicable, unforgivable and gut-wrenchingly sad.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

The people who have failed are the ones who run around on the pitch.<\/p>\n

Those morons calling for Arsene Wenger to leave are just as bad as those who turned on Ranieri.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
