Defending Premier League champions, Leicester City has sacked their club manager Claudio Ranieri on Thursday, after the English champions suffered a loss in the first leg of UEFA Champions League round of 16 game against Spain’s Sevilla. The FIFA coach of the year was sacked, just months after leading Leicester to a historic Premier League triumph. Notably, Ranieri’s job was under threat and intense scrutiny as a result of a poor League campaign this season.
