Ranieri: No need to discuss new Leicester deal

Claudio Ranieri insists he's happy with his current Leicester City deal.

Ranieri remained coy on his own contract situation though after he signed a three-year deal in 2015 to replace Nigel Pearson at the King Power Stadium.

He said: "I have (signed for) three years (in 2015). Why do I have to sign a new contract?"

The Foxes will receive the trophy on Saturday after their final home game of the season with Everton and Ranieri said it will be a crowning glory, along with one of his first jobs in football at Cagliari.

"Yes, one of the best. I don't forget when I started, where I started and in which division. I came from non-league, from amateur football, and when I arrived at Cagliari, in the Third Division, and we got to Serie A, that was my first fairytale.

"So I have a little love with this fairytale. Of course to win the Premier League is something. But in my heart there is always this (Cagliari)."
