Leicester City's decision to sack manager Claudio Ranieri nine months after he won the Premier League title is "unforgivable", says Gary Lineker.
Ranieri took the Foxes to the title in 2015-16 despite them being rated 5,000-1 shots at the start of that campaign.
Leicester are 17th this season and lost to League One Millwall in the FA Cup.
"After all that Claudio Ranieri has done for Leicester City, to sack him now is inexplicable, unforgivable and gut-wrenchingly sad," said Lineker.
The Match of the Day presenter, who played for his home-town club for seven seasons, added that Ranieri's sacking had shown that the "game's gone".
