Claudio Ranieri first shared his thoughts after being released by Leicester City club. Less than ten months have passed since the "Foxes" triumph in the Premier League, but the team, which has been showing poor form lately, decided to make changes. The Italian's protégés lost seven out of the last nine matches played. "Yesterday my dream died," Ranieri wrote in a statement. "After the euphoria of last season and our crowning as Premier League champions, I dreamed only of staying at Leicester City - a club that I will always love." "It's sad, but it didn't come true." "I want to thank my wife Rosanna and all my family for their never-ending support while I was in Leicester." "Thank you Paolo and Andrea, who were with me during this amazing journey. Also, Steve Kutner and Franco Granello, for giving me the opportunity to become a champion." "Most of all, I want to thank Leicester City club. This adventure was incredible and will remain with me forever." "Thank you to all the journalists and media who enjoyed reporting on the greatest journey in football history." "I wholeheartedly thank all the club representatives, all the players, staff, everyone who was part of what we achieved." "But most of all, the fans. You welcomed me into your hearts from the very first day and loved me. I love you too. No one can take away what we achieved together, and I hope you will think about it with a smile every day - just like I do." "It was a happy and miraculous time that I will never forget. Being a champion with you was a pleasure and an honor."
