'Unassuming yet stylish, like the man himself!' Understated four-bedroom home of former Leicester City manager Claudio Ranieri goes up for sale as Italian skipper looks a for new job

Daily Mail | April 22, 2017

Football managers are famously known for their expensive taste in properties, usually acquiring sprawling manors in acres of land - lavishly decorated to match.

But one skipper who certainly bucks the trend is Italian Claudio Ranieri, who famously led Leicester City to victory in 2016 when they won the Premier League for the first time in the club's history.

Ranieri, 65, has put the modest four-bedroom detached family home that was his base while commanding the club on the market for nearly £700,000 after being sacked in February.
