If THAT is "uninspiring" what about Wally with the Brolly (Steve McClaren at Newcastle)? The supporters of the last four clubs he managed were pleased to see the back of him!
Leicester confirmed Ranieri, 63, has signed a three-year deal at the King Power Stadium to replace Nigel Pearson, who was relieved of his duties last month because the club insisted "fundamental differences in perspective exist between us".
Ranieri's 29-year managerial career has spanned 14 clubs across five countries, including European giants such as Chelsea, Juventus and Atletico Madrid, but ex-Foxes and England striker Lineker is less than impressed with the decision taken by his old side's hierarchy.
"Claudio Ranieri is clearly experienced, but this is an uninspired choice by Leicester," he said on BreatheSport.
"It's amazing how the same old names keep getting a go on the managerial merry-go-round."
