Jurgen Klopp: Claudio Ranieri's sacking a 'strange decision' like Brexit, Trump

LIVERPOOL -- Jurgen Klopp says it was a "strange decision" for Leicester City to sack Claudio Ranieri -- comparing it to other major world events in recent months -- though he is not expecting anything different when his Liverpool side face them on Monday.

Ranieri was dismissed by Leicester on Thursday night, just nine months after guiding the club to their first Premier League title win.

Liverpool travel to the King Power Stadium on Monday, with assistant manager Craig Shakespeare and first-team coach Mike Stowell taking charge of Leicester until a new manager is appointed.
