Claudio Ranieri Sacked Just Nine Months After Leicester Miracle

Leicester City didn’t use the word “sacked”, of course. They used the term “parted ways”.

Life is brutal, sport doubly so. Claudio Ranieri, the genial, some would say say genius, 65-year-old Italian manager who engineered Leicester City’s impossible triumph in the English Premier League, has been sacked.

Leicester City’s win in the Premier League last season was statistically less likely than Kim Kardashian becoming U.S. president.

But City now languishes in 17th spot in the Premier League, just one spot above the dreaded relegation zone. The bottom three teams each year go down to a lesser league, which is devastating to club revenue and more. No team can afford that — never mind the ignominy of a fall the year after a title win.
