"A truly painful moment was the death of Vichai, in that tragic helicopter crash in 2018. He was an extraordinarily kind man. I don't know how he managed it, but we always felt his presence."
"He'd often come to see us with his wife, his sons and daughters. On my birthday, five minutes before training was about to begin, he walked into the dressing room with a cake covered in candles, and he got the whole team to sing to me."
"His death was a disaster for everyone who knew him, and of course for the club. Seeing Leicester now, struggling near the bottom of the Championship table, is very sad for those who lived through that incredible chapter of its history."
"I hope that from up there, wherever Vichai is watching us from, he's happy about this anniversary."
Claudio Ranieri commemorates the ten-year anniversary of Leicester City's Premier League title victory, expressing hope that Vichai Srivaddhanaprabha is watching with pride. Srivaddhanaprabha led the club from the Championship to Premier League champions in 2016. His tragic death in a helicopter crash in 2018 left a significant void, impacting the club's fortunes. Leicester now faces relegation struggles, highlighting the loss felt by those who experienced the club's remarkable journey under Srivaddhanaprabha's leadership.
