Leicester to discuss new Ranieri contract

Leicester City vice-chairman Aiyawatt Srivaddhanaprabha has revealed the club will sit down with Claudio Ranieri at season's end.

The Italian signed a three-year deal with the Foxes when he replaced Nigel Pearson last summer but could be rewarded with a new and improved deal after leading the East Midlands club to Premier League glory in his debut season.

"At the end of the season we will sit down together and talk about that with him," he said.

"It's not fair to talk now with one game to go. When we talk about something, it's long term, not just until September.

"I like people to work for me when they are happy and enjoy working with the group of people."

A report in The Sun suggests that Ranieri has verbally agreed a deal worth £3million per year which will see the 64-year-old's wages doubled to £60,000 per week.
