Ranieri favorite for sack

  • Posted on: 16 February 2017

Claudio Ranieri has now become the favorite to get sacked by the bookmakers.


Indeed the poor form of Leicester City and their proximity with the relegation zone appears to be too much, and many soccer betting sites have placed Ranieri as their favorite.

This is a big contrast with last year where it was Leicester City who was the biggest outsiders ever to win the Premier League title.

Things have changed a lot in a year, and it now appears that Claudio Ranieri will be the next manager that will be sacked in the Premier League.

Many fans have already made their opinion heard and asked for Leicester City to replace their manager. They acknowledged that Ranieri has been instrumental in helping them win the league last year, but they feel that a change is needed if the club is going to stay in the Premier League.

Interestingly Leicester City is not considered as a favorite to go down as many bookmakers feel that the reigning Champions are too good to go down. Indeed with players such as Vardy and Mahrez, Leicester City has the necessary ammunitions to hurt any team.

Clubs such as Sunderland, Hull, and Crystal Palace are all considered more likely to go down by bookmakers.

It will all depend on the Leicester City owners and how loyal they are to the manager that has brought them their first Premier League title.

The important thing for them will be to find an appropriate replacement, and it is very unlikely that they will get a manager of the caliber of Claudio Ranieri. Many people believe that Ranieri is the victim of his own success and nowadays Leicester City fans want their team to compete with the best team in the Premier League while they would have been previously satisfied by just avoiding relegation.
