Part of the statement on the Leicester City website at 8 o'click.

“Claudio has brought outstanding qualities to his office. His skilful management, powers of motivation and measured approach have been reflective of the rich experience we always knew he would bring to Leicester City. His warmth, charm and charisma have helped transform perceptions of the Club and develop its profile on a global scale. We will forever be grateful to him for what he has helped us to achieve."

So they put make a statement the guy is brilliant, then they sack him. Sounds a but 42 faced to me.
