Leicester boss Ranieri: This year the title. Next year? Top 10...

Leicester City boss Claudio Ranieri is already thinking about next season after being confirmed Premier League champions.

Ranieri was in Rome on Monday for lunch with his 96-year-old mother and landed back in England after Chelsea had held Tottenham to a 2-2 draw, handing his side the title.

“I am 64 years old, I've been fighting for a long time, but I was always positive and had positivity on my side," Ranieri told Rai 3's Processo del Lunedi show.

“I always thought that I'd end up winning a league title somewhere eventually. I am the same man who was fired by Greece, perhaps someone there had forgotten about my career.

“It's not as if anyone will forget, but I like to point out I am the same man who was on the Greece bench. I haven't changed.

“I am staying at Leicester. This is a year that cannot be repeated, next year we'll try to fight for a top 10 place, hopefully. We must continue to grow and to do well."
