Former Leicester City bosses and legend honour ‘The Boss’ at King Power Stadium

Former Leicester City managers Claudio Ranieri, Craig Shakespeare, Nigel Pearson and Martin O’Neill, along with Esteban Cambiasso, will attend the game versus Burnley, in honour of late Foxes chairman, Vichai Srivaddhanaprabha.

Claudio Ranieri, Craig Shakespeare and Nigel Pearson all influenced Leicester City – and Vichai Srivaddhanaprabha’s legacy – positively. One developed a Championship winning squad; not to mention leading the ‘Great Escape artists’.

Another of the trio helped scout and coach additions which would enable the final former manager to galvanise a Premier League winning team. Astonishing achievements.

All three are always welcome back at the club; despite all polarising supporters – us Leicester City faithful come together as a family in times like these. Saturday’s Foxes game against Burnley sees the trio return to the King Power Stadium. Although, we would all prefer the reunion to be under difference circumstances.

John Percy of the Telegraph Tweeted:

"“Claudio Ranieri is making his first return to #lcfc for Saturday’s game against Burnley. Nigel Pearson & Craig Shakespeare to also attend as club pays tribute to Khun Vichai. Esteban Cambiasso also expected”(Via: Twitter)"

In addition, Percy says former Foxes chief Sven Goran Eriksson was also invited but could not attend due to prior engagements. N’golo Kante and Riyad Mahrez have written testimonials in the programme. Along with Esteban Cambiasso, midfield leader and catalyst of the ‘Great Escape’ will be at the match, showing solitary with the Leicester family. Khun Vichai’s loved ones will also be present. 1990s fondly remembered gaffer, Martin O’Neill will be there too.

TalkSPORT states “It’s been 12 months since the former boss left the club, but the 55-year-old said he was ‘made to feel so welcome’ when he paid the Leicester staff and players a visit to offer his condolences and support as they continue to grieve their popular chairman.”

It is a lovely gesture of past greats of the club to be involved in such a heart-breaking and heart-warming  occasions. The entire world – not just the footballing element – seemed moved by the tragedy and the overwhelming grief that emerged.

The above Tweet quite from Foxes of Leicester Tweet quotes a beautiful salutation to Leicester City’s late owner, on the Foxes’ match-day shirt.

Claude Puel and his team will be determined to salute ‘The Boss’ by gaining all three points from Sean Dyche’s side. Burnley are no pushovers by any means; they will do what they can to battle to victory. While, the Clarets will respect the sombre day, commemorating Khun Vichai.
