Ahead of Leicester's game with Everton in the Premier League on Sunday, Danny Simpson has been speaking about former manager Claudio Ranieri and the aftermath of his sacking.

Italian boss Ranieri was sacked by the reigning Premier League champions in February after leaving the club just one point above the relegation zone.

But despite leaving the club in 17th position in the league, that wasn't the only thing disturbing the Leicester squad.

Simpson has revealed that him and his team-mates were put off by the fact that Ranieri changed the players' post-match food.

The right back told the Times: 'After games, we'd have chicken burgers and potato wedges and he changed them to sweet potatoes and pasta.

'I understand his point but the lads liked what we were used to, chicken and wedges.'

The 30-year-old defender also revealed that the Leicester players were left furious by the stick they were given following Ranieri's sacking.

'It went crazy.' Simpson added. 'We were getting it from all angles, even from some of our own fans. We were called "snakes".

'It was disappointing to see Claudio leave and we got that much stick it made us angry. We felt it was unjustified.

'We appreciated what he'd done, he's a top man, an infectious character. At the time, it [Ranieri's sacking] was seen as a loss for football.'

The former Chelsea boss left Leicester down in 17th place in the league when he was sacked but Craig Shakespeare has led the Foxes to five straight league victories, moving them up to 11th in the table.

Simpson and his team-mates take on Everton at Goodison Park in the top flight on Sunday afternoon.
