ave lost seven of their last nine matches, including Wednesday’s Champions League last-16 first leg against Sevilla, while a return of just five wins in 25 league matches has left them one point above the relegation zone.
And despite the more encouraging performance in the 2-1 loss in Spain, the club have decided to part company with the manager who led them to title glory only nine months ago.
Ranieri’s assistant manager Paolo Benetti and conditioning coach Andrea Azzalin have also left the club. Another assistant, Craig Shakespeare, and coach Mike Stowell will take temporary charge of the first team.
The decision comes just 16 days after Leicester released a statement in which they expressed their “unwavering support” for Ranieri despite their poor form.
