Leicester City boss Claudio Ranieri says he left Juventus over a row regarding Fabio Cannavaro.

Ranieri had two years in charge of Juve.

He told Corriere dello Sport: “With Juve it ended when I decided that it should end. I also have to point out that my spells at clubs have always been finished by me.

“We no longer agreed on transfer strategy. I was told that we'd agree on and buy players between the three of us: me, director of sport Alessio Secco and general manager Jean-Claude Blanc.

“The moment came when a choice was made that I didn't agree with, but they told me that the two of them had decided. So I said fine, then I'll go instead. They fired me two games before the end of the season, but the matter was done and dusted by that point.

“Who was the player? I can say it now, it was Cannavaro. He was a great player, but it didn't seem right that six stars went down to Serie B and took Juventus back into the top flight. Meanwhile he went off to Real Madrid and won a Scudetto only to just come back again?

“Cannavaro did well, it was just an issue of what was fair to the team. It was my opinion, not that of the locker room."
