Jurgen Klopp: Leicester dismissing Claudio Ranieri was a 'strange decision'

LIVERPOOL -- Jurgen Klopp says it was a "strange decision" for Leicester City to sack Claudio Ranieri, but he is not expecting them to play any differently 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.

"I heard about it yesterday night," Klopp said at a news conference of Ranieri's sacking.
