Ranieri Sacked

The Premier League is still reeling from the news that Claudio Ranieri has been sacked by Leicester City.

Given how highly regarded he is among his colleagues, and his title-winning achievement at Leicester, the news has been met with absolute shock within the Premier League.

Sympathy has been pouring in from his managerial colleagues, while pundits have been very vocal in their support.

The silence from the Leicester players since the sacking has been deafening, and has added fuel to the rumours that they plotted his downfall, but many of them have now come out with social media tributes to their ex-manager.

Kante Tweets

And now arguably the most important player from Leicester's title-winning team has chimed in with a Twitter tribute.

N'Golo Kante's role was very undervalued last season; now that he's gone and set to win the title with Chelsea, people are finally starting to give Kante his due credit.

He's barely uttered a word on Leicester from his lofty perch with Chelsea all season, but he's now seen fit to write a tribute to Ranieri following the Italan's sacking.

Big thanks with emotion to M. Ranieri for all he has achieved: for the club, for the fans and for me.
