Ranieri building for bright future with new Leicester deal

Leicester City manager Claudio Ranieri is eager to continue the Premier League champions' development after signing a new four-year deal.

Claudio Ranieri believes his new four-year contract will allow Leicester City to build on their phenomenal Premier League title triumph – even if he is keen to once again temper expectations at the King Power Stadium.

Ranieri famously played down Leicester's hopes of sealing glory as the 5,000-1 outsiders proved to be immovable frontrunners during an unforgettable 2015-16 campaign.

The 64-year-old will now take the club into the Champions League for the first time and is committed to Leicester's long-term development after tying himself to the club until 2020 on Wednesday.
