Claudio Ranieri, ex- Leicester City coach fingers someone within the club and not the players as popularly believed, who worked to get him sacked in February.
“I can’t believe my players killed me. No, no, no,” he told Sky Sports.
“Maybe it was someone behind me. I had a little problem the year before and we won the title. Maybe this year, when we lose, these people push a little more.”
“I listen to a lot of stories,” added 65-year-old Ranieri, who refused to identify who he was referring to.
“I don’t want to say who it is. I am a loyal man. What I had to say, I said face to face.”
“I thought the Sevilla match was a turning point,” said the former Chelsea manager. “Everyone was fighting together, Jamie Vardy scored a goal.
“But I found out on the way home that I would be sacked. It was a shock for me and for a lot of other people.”
“It was amazing,” he said. “When we won the title I received gifts and cards, bottles of wine and Champagne. When I was sacked, my house was full.”In case I don’t have the time to reply to all of them, I want to thank all the fans.
“I have won trophies around Europe, but never the title. Three times I was runner-up. Leicester and the fans will be in my heart for all of my life.”
