Ranieri to be sacked today?
Football365 claim that Claudio Ranieri will be sacked today (Monday):
Claudio Ranieri will finally be put out of his misery today when he is sacked by Chelsea.
Football365 can reveal that Ranieri has been summoned to Stamford Bridge, where he will finally be told his fate.
This follows two meetings last week with first Peter Kenyon in London and then Roman Abramovich in Milan when he expected to be sacked, only to be find himself talking about tactics.
But after Chelsea got assurances from Porto boss Jose Mourinho at the weekend, they are now free to dispense with Ranieri’s services.
Mourinho will be officially unveiled as new Chelsea boss within the next 48 hours.
Ranieri is expected to walk away with an £8m pay-off — £6m for the remaining three years of his contract and an extra £2m to allegedly prevent him publicising details of his treatment at the club.
