Jose Mourinho predicts sacked Leicester City manager Claudio Ranieri will bounce back just like he did after being dismissed by Chelsea

Manchester United manager Jose Mourinho has predicted Claudio Ranieri will bounce back into another job as he did following his dismissal by Chelsea at the end of 2015.

Mourinho, who has been outspoken in support of Ranieri after he was sacked on Thursday despite leading Leicester to the Premier League title last season, revealed he went on holiday to Brazil to get over being fired by Roman Abramovich - also having won the title.

'I went to Brazil and enjoyed it, watching Premier League matches in the Christmas and New Year period and started thinking about what next as for me there was clearly a next step and for Claudio there will be a next step too,' he said.
