The Football Oscars 2017 - What if FIFA gave out the Academy Awards?

#3. Award for Best Director – Vichai Srivaddhanaprabha/Claudio Ranieri

It was a two-man act that gets the award. Claudio Ranieri pulled off arguably the greatest sporting tale modern sport has ever seen with that amazing Leicester victory. It’s already been talked about so many times that everyone knows everything about, and that’s already got the award for original screenplay.

The award, though, has to be shared with doing completely ruthless (and loco, in my opinion) owner and Duty-Free king-pin Vichai Srivaddhanaprabha for going the next level and turning a fairytale into an absolute horror movie by killing off the happy ol' uncle character. It's like Sher Khan came on screen and ripped Baloo's neck off.
