Claudio Ranieri says Leicester's stunning Premier League title win is not as impressive as Nottingham Forest's success under Brian Clough in the late 1970s, reports Sky Sports.

Leicester's incredible achievement - winning the Premier League just two years after promotion from the Championship - has been hailed as one of sport's greatest fairytale.

But Ranieri thinks Forest's transformation from second-tier outfit to European champions in the space of three years trumps the Foxes.

Ranieri told Gazzetta dello Sport: "Nottingham Forest was a bigger success story than ours, because they came from the second division, won the league title then two European titles in succession.

"I hope we get to their level in a few years."
