Following the sack of Leicester City boss, Claudio Renieri from his position as coach, Jose Mourinho has reacted.
Claudio Ranieri
Manchester United manager Jose Mourinho has shown his class with a message of support to sacked Leicester City boss Claudio Ranieri on Instagram.
The Portuguese tactician is not known for his friendships within football, having gained a reputation for rubbing opposition managers up the wrong way with controversial and provocative statements.
Still, the Red Devils boss was quick to lend his backing to Ranieri after his shock sacking by Leicester tonight, less than a year after he guided the club to an historic Premier League title win.
Below is what Mourinho posted on Instagram:
The Italian took over the Foxes at the start of 2015/16 and defied 5000/1 odds to lift the title for the first time in the club’s history in a story that shook world football.
Still, Leicester have been sent crashing back down to earth this season with some poor form in the Premier League, and sit just a point above the relegation zone.
