Claudio ranieri leicester sacking manager unforgivable gary lineker

A sensitive topic!

Claudio Ranieri was indeed the manager of Leicester City when they won the Premier League title in 2016, a historic achievement that was considered one of the greatest sporting upsets of all time. However, just a year later, he was sacked by the club in February 2017, despite having led them to the title just 12 months prior.

The decision was met with widespread shock and criticism, with many fans and pundits feeling that it was unfair and unjustified. Gary Lineker, a former Leicester City player and current BBC Sport presenter, was one of the most vocal critics of the decision, calling it "unforgivable" on Twitter.

Lineker, who is a Leicester City legend and had played under Ranieri during his time at the club, felt that the manager had been unfairly treated and that the decision to sack him was a result of the team's poor form in the 2016-17 season, rather than any fault of his own.

Ranieri's sacking was seen as a betrayal by many fans, who felt that he had been loyal to the club and had earned the right to continue as manager. The decision was also seen as a reflection of the club's priorities, with some suggesting that the owners were more interested in making a quick profit than in supporting the team and its manager.

In the end, Ranieri's sacking was widely criticized and is still remembered as one of the most shocking and unjustified managerial sackings in Premier League history.
