Leicester players did not get Claudio Ranieri sacked, claims Christian Fuchs: 'This is completely far-fetched'

Christian Fuchs has denied suggestions that a player-led rebellion caused the sacking of Claudio Ranieri.

The Italian manager was shockingly dismissed by the Foxes in February, less than a year after taking the King Power side to a completely unexpected Premier League title.

Leicester found themselves battling against relegation and there were reports that the players sought Ranieri's sacking.
