The Chelsea star hailed his old boss, who received the axe on Thursday, for helping his career and recalled their remarkable title triumph together
Chelsea star N'Golo Kante has paid tribute to former Leicester City manager Claudio Ranieri, who was sacked by the club despite leading them to a remarkable Premier League triumph last season.
Kante was a cornerstone of the Foxes side that stunned the world last May with their maiden Premier League title win, despite bookmakers compiling odds of 5000-1 on them lifting the crown.
However, the 2016-17 campaign has stood in stark contrast, with Leicester battling relegation, leaving the club no choice but to sack Ranieri after a run of just five wins in 25 games that has left them 18th in the table ahead of Monday's clash with Liverpool.
