​Chelsea boss Conte unimpressed if Leicester players got Ranieri the sack

Published on: 25 February 2017

Chelsea boss Antonio Conte has shown his support for fellow Italian Claudio Ranieri, after he was sacked by Leicester City yesterday.

When asked about his reaction to Ranieri's sacking:

"Very, very sad. This is our job. I'm disappointed for him. He's a friend, a really good man, and a really good manager," Conte said.

"He reached a dream to win the title, I'm disappointed as a friend and as a coach."

And when quizzed about reports of the players having a role in Ranieri's sacking, Conte said:

"I don't like to follow this type of story, it's a lack of respect.

"If this happened, it means the club is poor, with no power. It's not right that players can control your destiny as a manager."
