Leicester City Football club has said they are strongly behind their under-performing manager, Claudio Ranieri, saying he has the club’s “unwavering support.”
There is speculation surrounding the Italian gaffer’s future following recent run of poor results.
Ranieri guided the club to the Premier League title last season, but reports have emerged recently that the coach has lost the dressing room at the King Power Stadium, with the club currently sitting 16th in the table and just one point clear of the relegation zone.
The former Chelsea boss said yesterday that he does not feel his job is in jeopardy, and the club have now insisted that they remain “united behind [their] manager.”
A statement by the club reads, “In light of recent speculation, Leicester City Football Club would like to make absolutely clear its unwavering support for its first team manager, Claudio Ranieri.
“While there is a collective appreciation from everyone at the club that recent form needs to improve, the unprecedented success achieved in recent seasons has been based firmly on stability, togetherness and determination to overcome even the greatest of challenges.
“The entire club is and will remain united behind its manager and behind its players, collectively and firmly focused on the challenges ahead.”
Leicester suffered a 3-0 defeat to Manchester United on Sunday which is their latest in a poor run of results.
