Leicester City news: Jamie Vardy joins Kasper Schmeichel in denying involvement in Claudio Ranieri sacking

Jamie Vardy has joined Kasper Schmeichel in denying any involvement in Claudio Ranieri's sacking as Leicester boss.

Ranieri left the club on Thursday only nine months after guiding the Foxes to a remarkable Premier League triumph.

Vardy was one of the many rough diamonds Ranieri polished, with the striker's form for Leicester earning him a place in the England team.

Writing on Instagram, Vardy said: "I must have written and deleted my words to this post a stupid amount of times! I owed (it to) Claudio to find the right and appropriate words!

"Claudio has and always will have my complete respect!
