I received death threats and my family were targeted - Vardy

Leicester striker Jamie Vardy says he has received death threats and his family have been targeted since Claudio Ranieri was sacked as manager.

The 30-year-old blamed "hurtful" and "false" accusations that he influenced the club's decision to sack the Italian.

Ranieri left in February, nine months after winning the English Premier League title and his successor, Craig Shakespeare, later denied reports of a player revolt.

Vardy says he read one story that said he was personally involved in a meeting after the Sevilla game, but he says he was s actually sitting in anti‑doping for three hours.

Leicester City will play Stoke City at 2am on the 2nd of next month.
