Italian president Sergio Mattarella will honor the coach after he won the Premier League with Leicester City, giving him a rank above the 1982 and 2006 World Cup winners.
Leicester City's surprise Premier League title win has earned the team and its heroes a great deal of praise and accolades recently, but coach Claudio Ranieri has been given the highest honor of them all so far, as he is about to be Knighted in Italy.
The 64-year-old guided the Foxes to their first ever English crown in an unexpected achievement this season and the country's prime minister Matteo Renzi had called for him to be given a national honor.
