Leicester Will Be Fine Without Steve Walsh

 

Claudio Ranieri insists life will go on for Leicester despite Steve Walsh's departure to Everton. The Foxes boss was disappointed to see Walsh depart for Goodison Park earlier this week. As the Premier League champions' head of recruitment, Walsh was also responsible for unearthing many of the players who led the club to their shock title triumph.

New Toffees boss Ronald Koeman hopes he can achieve similar success by appointing Walsh as Everton's first director of football and Ranieri is now searching for the 51-year-old's replacement but the Italian is confident that no matter who takes on the role in future, Leicester will not face disruption.

Ranieri said: “I worked with Steve at Chelsea a long time ago. I was very pleased to work with him also here at Leicester. Now he wants to go and I can only say thank you. He worked so well here. But now we have our plan and will continue with our plan. Without me, without the players, football always goes on.”
