Some
unnamed senior players in King Power Stadium have been accused of
sabotaging the position of Italian tactician, Claudio Ranieri as team
coach.
Claudio Ranieri lost his job as Leicester City manager, after his players told the Thai owners to fire him.
MirrorSport reports that senior members of the squad, recently
complained about Ranieri to the club owner, Vichai Srivaddhanaprabha.
After losing 3-0 to Manchester United at home this month, a senior
player reportedly walked into the players’ lounge and declared: “That’s it, we don’t know what we are doing, we are ****ed.”
The Italian delivered the Premier League title last season despite the 5,000-1 odds.
This season, Ranieri failed to recapture those dizzy heights, as
Leicester languish in 17th places after five straight defeats in the
league.
With the Foxes in danger of getting relegated a year after they
were crowned champions, the club’s Thai hierarchy acted on Thursday and
are now eyeing Roberto Mancini or Guus Hiddink as their new coach.
