Cape Town - Leicester City announced on Thursday night that it had taken the decision to part company with Italian manager Claudio Ranieri.
Ranieri's position had come under intense scrutiny this season during a slump that has left the Foxes just a point above the relegation zone following last term's starting title triumph, with Leicester 5 000/1 no-hopers before the start of the 2015/16 campaign.
The decision to sack the Italian by the Foxes owners was widely condemned on Twitter by pundits and fans alike.
Here are some of the best reactions to Ranieri's sacking:
After all that Claudio Ranieri has done for Leicester City, to sack him now is inexplicable, unforgivable and gut-wrenchingly sad.

Claudio Ranieri sacked! Unfortunate news I think! Wonder how I'd feel if I was a Leicester player right now??. Could I have done more ????

I've lost a lot of love for the beautiful game today. The players and fans of Leicester have been massively let down.
