Leicester boss Claudio Ranieri cried after watching Premier League title highlights

Leicester manager Claudio Ranieri has revealed he was so surprised by his side's Premier League title win that he broke down in tears during an awards ceremony in his native Italy.

The Foxes defied all odds to win the Premier League title by 10 points last season — despite being priced at £5,000-1 to win their first top-tier championship.

An emotional Ranieri couldn't believe the likes of Jamie, Vardy, Riyad Mahrez and Co guided the Foxes to domestic glory — with his emotions summed up in a gripping interview with The Times.
