Bayern Munich boss Ancelotti: Leicester so bad they've me agreeing with Jose!

Bayern Munich boss Carlo Ancelotti has slammed Leicester City over the sacking of Claudio Ranieri.

Manchester United manager Jose Mourinho posted a heartfelt Instagram post about the former Chelsea manager's sacking, saying: "That's the new football, Claudio. Nobody can delete the history you wrote."

And Bayern Munich boss Ancelotti supports the Portuguese tactician's views on Ranieri's sacking.

"I agree totally with Jose," Ancelotti said.

"I'm not used to agreeing with Jose, but in this case I do. Well done, Jose.

"What can I say? Everyone is surprised about this, but being sacked as a trainer is part of the job. I've been sacked many times, at Chelsea and Real Madrid.

"Leicester have to say thanks for everything he did. He made history. What he did there will help him find another club and to find another emotion - maybe to be sacked again.

"We know this is part of our job as a trainer. When the club has problems, they cannot sack 20 players. In football, the players get credit when things are good, when things are wrong, the only guilty one is the manager.

"But we know this and we are paid for this."
