Italian coach Claudio Ranieri
has been sacked by Leicester, less than a year after leading the
underdogs to the Premier League title in what is widely
considered one of the greatest sporting feats of all time.
Leicester are currently 17th in the Premier League, just one
point above the relegation zone.
However, they are still in with a chance of reaching the
Champions League quarter-finals, after this week's 2-1 loss at
Sevilla on the first leg of their last-16 tie.
The Italian press joined in the outrage expressed by many at
the decision made by the Thai-owned English outfit.
"Ungrateful English," read the front-page of Friday's La
Gazzetta dello Sport.
