Jamie Vardy has broken his silence with a tribute to Claudio Ranieri - and denied he was involved in the Italian's Leicester sacking.
Ranieri was relieved of his duties at the King Power Stadium on Thursday to the shock of football fans around the world.
The Foxes had been struggling domestically, but won the Premier League title just nine months ago and are still capable of achieving safety this season and have a chance of going through to the quarter finals of the Champions League.
Vardy and several senior Leicester players were reportedly consulted by the club's owners before they decided to drop the axe on Ranieri.

But that's something the English striker has denied in his tribute to Ranieri - a post that comes three days after the news was confirmed by the club:
Vardy was one of the standout players as Leicester won the Premier League last season, but he's underperformed this term - scoring just seven goals in all competitions.
He is one of many Leicester City players to pay tribute to Ranieri today.
