Claudio Ranieri insists his 'dream died' after being sacked as Leicester manager following Sevilla defeat

Claudio Ranieri has admitted Leicester have destroyed his dream of staying at the club for life.
In an incredibly heartfelt and emotional statement, Ranieri said his “dream died” after being sacked as Leicester manager following a dressing room revolt.

Ranieri described last season’s title success as “the greatest story in football” as Leicester defied odds of 5,000/1 to win the Premier League.
Ranieri is understood to be ready to receive a £3m pay-off after being axed just six months into a new four year contract after leading Leicester to the title last season.Former Leicester boss Ranieri even thanked the players who had ultimately got him the sack by complaining to the club’s Thai owners.Ranieri said: “Yesterday my dream died. After the euphoria of last season and being crowned Premier League Champions all I dreamt of was staying with Leicester City, the Club I love, for always. Sadly this was not to be.
“I wish to thank my wife Rosanna and all my family for their never ending support during my time at Leicester. My thanks go to Paolo and Andrea who accompanied me on this wonderful journey.
“Mostly I have to thank Leicester City Football Club. The adventure was amazing and will live with me forever. Thank you to all the journalists and the media who came with us and enjoyed reporting on the greatest story in football.
