Leicester boss Ranieri tells Guardiola, Mourinho: Why I'm special!

Leicester City boss Claudio Ranieri is proud to have shocked his peers last season.

He says that the likes of Pep Guardiola, Jose Mourinho, Antonio Conte and Jurgen Klopp can't ALL repeat what he did last season.

Ranieri said: “Only one can win. The others… I am speaking as a football man, but I am not a president or owner of a club who has spent maybe £200m and wants to win it badly.

“These things take time. I did it quickly. How? Because I am special! It was a special year.

“Leicester winning the title was like the owner of a vineyard coming up with a vintage wine. The man works the ground every year but there is one year when the wine is just fantastic.

“What happened? I don't know. What happened to us was very good. I will keep that bottle."
