Claudio Ranieri has admitted that Leicester City will need to replace Esteban Cambiasso's leadership qualities after the Argentine announced that he will not be staying at the club.
The 34-year-old confirmed this evening that he will not be signing a new deal with the Foxes, having spent last season at the King Power Stadium.
The manager told the club's Twitter account: "We wish Esteban well. He was a leader, now we need another one with the same quality, strength and character."
Leicester made a winning start under Ranieri, beating Lincoln City in a pre-season friendly tonight.
