Leicester boss Ranieri won't tolerate players relaxing just yet

Leicester City boss Claudio Ranieri is demanding his players end the season on a winning note.

The champions host Everton on Saturday and will receive the trophy after the game to cap an astonishing season after they were 5,000/1 to win the league at the start of the campaign.

Leicester finish up at Chelsea, Ranieri's former club, on May 15 and the Italian wants to ensure the Foxes show they deserve their status as champions.

He said: "Now I have to come only first, if I want to stay in a place I want to win. Inside me there are two people. One is a very aggressive, I want to win, I won the Premier League but now I want to win on Saturday. I want to win next season and is never satisfied.

"Another says 'Claudio, how many managers are there in the world? Too many. Not everyone can be Sir Alex Ferguson, (Fabio) Capello, (Carlo) Ancelotti, you are having a very good career."'
