Ranieri doesn't trust bookies over England job

Leicester City boss Claudio Ranieri laughed off the prospect of becoming England manager after steering his side to a win over Porto.

Claudio Ranieri playfully resumed his ribbing of bookmakers when told he was named in the betting to replace Sam Allardyce as England manager.

Ranieri was speaking at a news conference following Leicester's 1-0 Champions League Group G win over Porto at the King Power Stadium, a game that kicked off amid confirmation by the Football Association (FA) that Allardyce's 67-day tenure had been terminated on the back of a damning undercover investigation by the Daily Telegraph.
