Leicester City boss Claudio Ranieri is proud to be Italian football's standard bearer after winning the Premier League title.

The former Chelsea manager was quick to pay tribute to Gianfranco Zola.

He told Rai 3's Processo del Lunedi: “I gladly take on this responsibility. I like to give the credit to Gianfranco Zola, as when I was in charge of Chelsea, the fans of all the other teams applauded him.

“He was the greatest ambassador and representative of Italian football, so I like to remember him in these moments."

Ranieri added: “The only dedication I can make is to everyone. I tell you to try, try all the way, and know that you can believe."
