Claudio Ranieri unveiled as new Nantes manager as Italian insists he is over his Leicester City sacking

Claudio Ranieri has been unveiled as the new manager of French club Nantes after signing a two-year contract.

The 65-year-old Italian, who famously led Leicester City to an improbable Premier League title triumph in 2016, was presented with the distinctive yellow shirt of the Ligue 1 club and toured their Stade de la Beaujoire home.

Ranieri was sacked by Leicester back on February 23, with the club just one point above the relegation zone following a poor start to the domestic campaign.
