Ryan Giggs is looking to make a return to Premier League management sooner rather than later… Two huge Premier League managerial posts have become vacant in the past week with Leicester City sacking Craig Shakespeare and Everton parting company with Ronald Koeman.

They may not be champions any longer but on Thursday evening, Leicester City supporters reminded everyone that their title will never be forgotten.

Despite the fact that Spurs are yet to win …

Having been sacked by Leicester City less that nine months after winning the Premier League title, Claudio Ranieri has finally spoken about his feelings with regard to his departure from the club.

Danny Simpson and Jamie Carragher locked horns on Twitter on Wednesday morning after the former Liverpool stalwart attacked Leicester’s players earlier in the week. After Leicester City romped to victory over Liverpool on Monday evening, Jamie Carragher stated that both sides should have been ashamed of themselves at the full time whistle. Referring to the fact that Claudio Ranieri had …

It’s been one of the most shocking and divisive stories in recent sporting memories. Claudio Ranieri was sacked this week just months after achieving the impossible. Leicester were crowned Premier League in May but this season, they’ve struggled massively domestically despite progressing comfortably to the knockout rounds of the Champions League. The Foxes lie just a point above the relegation …

Leicester City could be the first team in Premier League history to be relegated as champions. But where has it all gone wrong for the Foxes? Last season’s stunningly bizarre triumph appears to be a distant memory as Claudio Ranieri’s men sit just two points above the drop zone. 13 points from 14 games is a woeful return. This is a team that …

Leicester City’s Jamie Vardy and Riyad Mahrez were both named in the 30-man Ballon d’Or shortlist after a stellar season last year saw the duo score 42 goals and provide 17 assists between them.

I was quick to relay my anger back to my smug Arsenal pals through Whatsapp. This result …

The Riyad Mahrez to Arsenal saga certainly seems to have some legitimacy to it. However, Leicester City manager Claudio Ranieri is refusing to even entertain the idea.

Arsenal have reportedly suffered a huge blow in their pursuit of Leicester City star Riyad Mahrez as the Premier League champions refuse to entertain bids for their star so late in the transfer window.

The conclusion of Paul Pogba’s move to Manchester United has allowed football fans and the media turn their attentions to that other long-touted transfer rumour, that of Riyad Mahrez’s move to London, to either Arsenal or Chelsea. For weeks it was reported that Arsenal were lining up a bid for the Algeria international and that the player had even agreed …
