Leicester boss Ranieri: 5 more years

Leicester City boss Claudio Ranieri says he has no plans for retirement.

He claims he will keep managing at least until he is 70 and has no date in mind to quit the dugout.

Ranieri turned 65 yesterday, he has no intention of slowing down.

“No, why?" said the Italian, who led the Foxes to last season's Premier League title. “Until I feel an old man, I will keep going.

“I will continue as long as I enjoy it and feel good. For me it is my life, my job.

“I want to continue for a long time. At 35 I said, 'at 50 I will finish'.

“But then at 50 I said 'Why now? Why 55?'.

“Then I went five years by five, step by step. I am 65, now I will go to 70."
