Hovering one point above the relegation spots, Leicester City decided it was in the club's best long-term interests to fire Premier League winning coach Claudio Ranieri, a decision that ex-international Gary Lineker slammed as contrary to what the game stands for.
Lineker had gone on Match of the Day, the show he hosts, in his underwear after the Foxes defied the odds to win the title last season.
"Firing Ranieri is inexplicable, unforgivable and gut-wrenchingly sad," Lineker said on social media, shortly after hearing of the club's decision.
