LONDON (Reuters) - Leicester City forward Jamie Vardy has denied he was involved in the sacking of manager Claudio Ranieri nine months after the Italian led his team to the Premier League title. After guiding Leicester to one of the most unlikely title victories last year, Ranieri was fired on Thursday with the Foxes mired in a relegation battle. Vardy wrote in an Instagram post on Saturday alongside a photo of Ranieri. He believed in me when many didn't and for that I owe him my eternal gratitude," Vardy said. They've been here all the time, they come to practically every game and they speak to all the players regularly," Schmeichel said.
