Ranieri has kept a low profile since leaving the Foxes in February, nine months after leading them to the Premier League title.

But he is set to speak in detail about his departure when he joins Carragher and Jones on Sky Sports, as well as discussing their fairytale title triumph and stories from his incredible spell in charge at the King Power Stadium.

Carragher said he was "devastated" for Ranieri after he was sacked just two weeks after Leicester offered him their "unwavering support".
