Torino coach Sinisa Mihajlovic is upset for Claudio Ranieri over his sacking by Leicester City.
Ranieri was axed by Leicester last week, just months after leading the club to the Premier League title.
Mihajlovic commented: "I am very sorry for Claudio, who is a great friend of mine and does not deserve such a thing.
"But unfortunately what does not exist in football is gratitude."
Ranieri has been linked with a return to Italy at Fiorentina.
