Internet Desk: Claudio Ranieri, the Italian mastermind who led Leicester City to a nearly impossible achievement of clinching their historic Premier League title last season, got sacked last night due to a deplorable performance this season in the Premier League and more importantly because of the “unhappy” players who wanted a replacement.

The Manchester United boss, who was also sacked a year later winning the EPL title for Chelsea, has words of morale-boosting for the Italian.

Jose Mourinho has posted a touching tribute for Claudio Ranieri after the Italian was removed by Leicester City.

The Premier League champions made the announcement on Thursday evening, a day after the Foxes were beaten 2-1 by Sevilla in the Champions League.

After their quite extraordinary title win, Ranieri’s side have struggled in the 2016-17 season and find themselves in 17th place in the table with just five league wins from 25 matches.

Leicester were also dumped out of the FA Cup by Millwall at the fifth-round stage, with the club’s hierarchy feeling a decision had to be made to arrest their decline.

Ranieri’s success last season, that saw him crowned FIFA’s Best Coach of the Year, has not been forgotten about, however, with United boss Mourinho sending on a message of support.

The 54-year-old, who, like Ranieri, was also sacked the season after claiming the Premier League title, posted on his Instagram page to remind the Italian that no one can delete his achievements.

He wrote: “CHAMPION OF ENGLAND and FIFA MANAGER of THE YEAR.sacked. Thats the new football claudio.keep smiling AMICO.nobody can delete the history you wrote.”
