These are the best of the Claudio Ranieri sacked jokes after Leicester City announced on Thursday night that they had parted company with the manager that remarkably brought the Premier League title to the club last season.
Although not leaving the team in the greatest league position, the previously hailed Italian coach kept the side in the Champions League competition and many feel he should have, at least, been allowed to see the season out.
Some are blaming the players for his exit, others the board of directors and the majority are in a sorry mood.
Here are the best Claudio Ranieri sacked jokes we could find as Leicester City force their title-winning manager out in hope of staying up this season:

This whole Ranieri thing reminds me of this book I read once called the Bible – guy in it performed miracles and he too got betrayed

Leicester sack Claudio Ranieri for being in 17th yet they only bothered to sack Nigel Pearson after his son farted on a Thai whore

Ranieri could have gotten back to back relegations and taken a shite on the Chairman's desk, and still wouldn't deserve the sack for me.

I bet when Ranieri dies, his last wish would be to invite the Leicester team to lower his coffin so they can let him down one last time
