Juventus coach Claudio Ranieri admits he remains "bitter" over his treatment by his former Chelsea chief executive Peter Kenyon.

Ranieri told the Observer: "When Kenyon came, I was frozen. Kenyon was the new boss, and new bosses tend to want to bring in their own people and I was not one of his people. Am I bitter? Yes. Bitterness, rancour, hurt - call it what you like. Before Abramovich came, I was doing my job, I carried on doing it for him and I wanted to continue doing it.

"At the end, after the game against Leeds, I knew the players and the supporters were with me, even if the club was not. They knew I had left my legacy with them."
