PSG coach Unai Emery has hailed the impact of Claudio Ranieri at Nantes this season.

The former Roma coach has Nantes challenging for European qualification this season.

"He's a reference for every Coach around the world," Emery said in his pre-match Press conference.

“He's worked with a lot of teams, he has a lot of experience, he won the Premier League title with Leicester [City] to the surprise of everyone.

“It's a privilege for the French league to have a Coach like him at Nantes. All the teams he's coached have been very competitive.

“They are a very difficult team, and they'll be playing with their home crowd behind them."
