Following the sudden sack of Claudio Raneiri on Wednesday by the club owners, Social Media has globally reacted to this, some football fans and football experts support the decision taking by the club owners as the rightful and needed step for the progress of the club while others suggest that perhaps it was a harsh and unfair treatment from the club owners on Claudio Raineiri.
In a statement from Leicester’s Vice chairman Aiyawatt Srivaddhanaprabha on Thursday night, He utterly ignored the effort of Raineiri. He did not mention Raineiri’s effort to dramatically secure for the team the English Premier League last season and his effort in Europe this season, helping the team overcome the group stages of the Uefa Champions League. And currently having their place in the round of 16 against Sevilla. He said ” It was never our expectations that the extraordinary feats of last season should be replicated this season”. He purposefully and utterly avoided the extraordinary achievement of Raineiri.
Although there is no denying that Leciester this season has performed below expectations in the Premier League. Some fans say that Claudio Raneiri had lost the dressing room and also the confidence of his players. Some stated that Raneiri sale of his strongest midfielder during the transfer market had a huge blow on his performance this season. Therefore, attributing the major weakness of the team to the central midfield role. While some of Leicester fans have mixed feelings and two minds about the exit of Raneiri, they made some emotional remarks. ” Claudio will never be forgotten. Last year will never be forgotten. Vardy, Mahrez, Kante, Andrea Bocelli, 7 May 2016, never forgotten. Be assured nothing will ever change or taint that for us. Claudio will forever be with us at the King Power”. Said Dan Greenwich a fan of Leciester City.
Was sacking of Claudio Raneiri a good decision for the progress of the club?
