Leicester City Manager Claudio Ranieri Gets a Sausage Named After Him

Oh, how things have changed for Claudio Ranieri. 

In late 2014, the Italian was sacked by Greece after an embarrassing home defeat in European qualifying to the Faroe Islands. 

These days, the Leicester City manager is on the brink of the most improbable championship in the Premier League era, and, better yet, he now has a sausage named after him.

The W Archer & Son butchers named a sausage with fennel, chili and garlic after the Leicester City hero.

Unfortunately for their efforts, it wasn't quite up to their namesake's standards when he was presented with the treat at his Friday press conference. 

"Too much garlic!" he joked, per Daniel Prescott of MailOnline. "What about for my sharks [journalists]?" 

Reporters, on the other hand, thoroughly enjoyed it. 

One more mark (of many this season) off Ranieri's footballing bucket list.
