N'Golo Kante pays tribute to former Leicester manager Claudio Ranieri: 'Big thanks for the club, for the fans and for me'

N'Golo Kante has paid tribute to former manager Claudio Ranieri following the Italian's emotional sacking by Leicester City.

Ranieri was sacked on Thursday, less than a year after bringing the most unlikely of Premier League titles to the King Power Stadium as he guided the 5,000/1 Foxes to the summit of English football.

Kante was a key part of that side, with his tireless midfield running and ability to break up play proving the starting point for many a Leicester attack, which more often than not ended with a goal from either Riyad Mahrez or Jamie Vardy.
