Leicester City manager Claudio Ranieri has signed a new contract that
will keep him at the club until 2020, the Premier League champions said
on Wednesday Aug 10,2016
Appointed in July, 2015, the 64-year-old Italian helped the club defy pre-season odds of 5000/1 to win the league, the first top-flight title in Leicester's 132-year history.
"Claudio's qualities, both as a man and as a coach, have been very clear since the moment he arrived – qualities that have helped Leicester City to progress on every level," club vice chairman Aiyawatt Srivaddhanaprabha said in a statement.
Claudio Ranieri joined Leicester following the dismissal of Nigel Pearson, but his appointment was met with a mixed reaction among media and supporters, with many tipping the side to go down.
Claudio Ranieri previously guided Chelsea to a Champions League semi- final in 2004 but a series of bizarre tactical tweaks and substitutions led to defeat by Monaco.
Claudio Ranieri had also managed Atletico Madrid, Valencia, Juventus, Inter Milan and Roma, but domestic cups in Italy and Spain were the only significant honours to show for his time with some of Europe's biggest clubs before last year's unlikely triumph.
Claudio Ranieri nicknamed "the Tinkerman", was appointed head coach of the Greek national side in July 2014 but was sacked four months later following a Euro 2016 qualifying defeat by the Faroe Islands
Note
Key players including goalkeeper Kasper Schmeichel, defender Wes Morgan and prolific striker Jamie Vardy have also extended their contracts with the club who begin their title defence with a trip to promoted Hull City on Saturday Aug 13,2016
