Bangkok (AP) — Leicester City manager Claude Puel led his soccer team’s players as they arrived Sunday at a Bangkok temple to pay their respects to the club’s late owner.
Thai billionaire Vichai Srivaddhanaprabha was killed when his helicopter crashed Oct. 27 in a parking lot next to the English Premier League club’s stadium.
His funeral began Saturday, with other ceremonies scheduled through Nov. 9.
The Leicester City players arrived Sunday after traveling to Bangkok following their match with Cardiff City the day before.
Vichai oversaw one of the greatest underdog successes in sports when his 5,000-1 outsiders won the English Premier League title in 2016.
