LONDON (Reuters) - Leicester City manager Craig Shakespeare has said that he never had any arguments with predecessor Claudio Ranieri and there was no ill feeling between the pair prior to the Italian's sacking. Speaking publicly for the first time on Monday, Ranieri told Sky Sports the players were not involved in his sacking but suggested "someone behind" him was conspiring against him, though he stopped short of naming anybody. "We have never had any arguments or hard feelings," Shakespeare told reporters on Tuesday, on the eve of their Champions League quarter-final clash against Spanish side Atletico Madrid. What I will say about it is I think Claudio was in good humour, he came across exactly as I know him. Leicester, the last English team in this season's Champions League, face Atletico in Madrid on Wednesday before the return leg next Tuesday.
