Former Leicester City boss Claudio Ranieri is proud of Antonio Conte after seeing him win the title with Chelsea.

The ex-Juventus coach won the Premier League at first attempt.

“I am proud to hand over the baton of the Premier League to Antonio Conte: from one Italian to another, a great recognition of our school of management," Ranieri told La Gazzetta dello Sport.

“After the fairy-tale of my Leicester, this splendid Chelsea adventure. It was not easy to get it at the first attempt, but Conte passed his exam with flying colours on his debut in English football.

“Antonio did a great job in every sense: dealing with the team, his rapport with the outside world and relations with the media.

“Having said all that, the fundamental issue remains the work of the Coach."
