‘I turned down offers to stay with Leicester last season’, reveals under-fire boss Claudio Ranieri

Leicester boss Claudio Ranieri has revealed he turned down multiple offers to leave the English champions last year.

The Italian hinted he had jobs on the table following the Foxes' shock Premier League title triumph.

Ranieri was linked with the Italy job when Antonio Conte joined Chelsea last summer, while a number of Chinese sides were also reported to be interested in the boss.

But the 65-year-old said he wanted to remain at Leicester, insisting he always knew it would be difficult for the Foxes this season and that he is keen to build for the future.
