LONDON (Reuters) - Claudio Ranieri said his "dream died" when he was sacked by Leicester City nine months after leading them to the Premier League title against all the odds. "Yesterday my dream died," Ranieri said in a statement on Friday. "After the euphoria of last season and being crowned Premier League champions all I dreamt of was staying with Leicester; the club I love for always. "My heartfelt thanks to everybody at the club, everybody who was part of what we achieved, but mostly to the supporters. Leicester started last season as 5,000-1 outsiders to win the English top-flight title for the first time in their history.
