Claudio Ranieri is ready to break his silence since being sacked by Leicester when he appears as a television pundit for Arsenal's visit to Crystal Palace next month, Sportsmail can reveal.
The Italian will be in the Sky Sports studio for Monday Night Football and the Premier League clash at Selhurst Park on April 10 and it is understood questions about his spell at Leicester are firmly on the table.
Sources indicate that Ranieri has chosen the forum due to Jamie Carragher's staunch backing in his Sportsmail columns. Fellow Sky pundit Gary Neville was also critical of the call to dismiss Ranieri nine months after guiding Leicester to the Premier League title.
