Leicester’s decision caused a global roar across much of the footballing world, coming less than 10 months after the likeable Ranieri led the club to the most remarkable of title triumphs.
Ranieri released a statement on Friday declaring that “his dream had died”, before returning to the training ground for one final farewell.
“Just to say thank you to the fans, they are fantastic. I feel good now,” he told Sky Sports as he left in his car.
“Yes, of course [I feel good], because what we achieved in Leicester I hope can happen again but it will be very difficult.”
Asked if emotions had been running high during his final goodbyes, Ranieri replied: “No, it was normal.”
