Former Leicester City manager Claudio Ranieri is to leave Nantes at the end of the season.

The Italian, who led City to an incredible Premier League triumph two years ago, will leave the French club despite leading Nantes to tenth in the table.

Ranieri has been sacked by owner Waldemar Kita after a series of fall-outs, culminating in Ranieri allegedly failed to turn up for the end of season dinner because he couldn’t find a parking space.

Kita has also criticised some of Ranieri’s team selections and tactics, and Ranieri publicly challenged the club to sack him if they weren’t happy.

However, Kita claims the decision has not been personal.

"We can’t hide anything,” he said.

“We had a meeting with the sponsors, he thanked everyone.

“He has to be thanked for all the work he has done. It has not always been easy, there are regrets, but this is life and there is no anger.”

Former United States and Germany manager Jurgen Klinsmann has been linked with the Nantes job.

Ranieri was sacked by City in February, 2017, nine months after winning the title.
