Riyad Mahrez has joined Shinji Okazaki and Kasper Schmeichel in voicing his appreciation for Claudio Ranieri, who was unceremoniously sacked by Leicester City on Thursday.

Reports have heightened of a player revolt in the east Midlands which led to Ranieri's firing just nine months after the Italian led his written-off throng to an unexpected Premier League title. Mahrez has now perhaps distanced himself from those stories by thanking his old boss in a series of tweets.
From last season's heroics, Mahrez's productivity has taken a significant downturn. In 2015-16, the Algerian international scored 17 and laid on 11 assists, but currently has three goals and two assists to his name in the current campaign.
