Burnley's Aaron Ramsey reacts to Marti Cifuentes' Leicester City sacking after just six months
Aaron Ramsey has thanked Marti Cifuentes for “all the lessons” following his sacking at Leicester City.
The 22-year-old is currently on loan at the King Power Stadium, where the Foxes are enduring a torrid season back in the Championship.
Under Cifuentes, Leicester slumped to 14th place in the division, six points adrift of the play-offs.
The final straw for the Spaniard proved to be the weekend’s 2-1 defeat to Oxford United, Leicester’s 11th loss in 29 games under Cifuentes.
The former QPR boss only lasted six months in the role, having left Loftus Road at the end of last season to take over in the East Midlands.

It’s also been a troubled season for Ramsey on a personal level, making just eight appearances and starting just three games.
The midfielder was sent off on his debut in the initial fixture away at Oxford in September, while his playing time has also been limited by a hamstring injury.
Nevertheless, Ramsey took to social media in the wake of Cifuentes’ sacking to thank the former Leicester boss.
“Thank you gaffer for this season, really appreciate all the lessons,” he wrote on Instagram.
"All the best in the future.”
First-team coach Andy King will take charge of the Foxes on an interim basis, pending the appointment of a permanent replacement.
