West Ham United vice-chairman Karren Brady has commented on Leicester City’s decision to sack Claudio Ranieri as their manager in her football diary in The Sun.

Leicester dismissed Ranieri last month following a run of disappointing defeats in the Premier League.

The Italian tactician guided Foxes to the Premier League title during the 2015-16 season.

When Ranieri was dismissed by Leicester, the team were just one point above the relegation zone.

West Ham vice-chairman Brady has given her opinion on Leicester’s decision to part company with Ranieri.

“You have to ask who would be a football manager?” Brady wrote in her football diary in The Sun. “One day you’re cock of the walk, the next a feather duster. Just ask Claudio Ranieri. But equally who would be a football chairman. Damned if you do, damned if you don’t.

“Vichai Srivaddhanaprabha was much criticised for sacking his manager, but look at what’s happened since. They have not lost a game. And frankly that’s what football is all about… winning.”

Leicester’s form has improved since the dismissal of Ranieri. The Foxes have won both of their last two Premier League games – 3-1 against Liverpool at the King Power Stadium and 3-1 against Hull City at home.

The Foxes will return to action on Tuesday evening when they take on Sevilla at home in the second leg of the Champions League last-16 tie.

Leicester lost the first leg 2-1 in Spain last month, but they will fancy their chances of progressing to the quarter-finals of Europe’s premier club competition.
