Ranieri desperate to become Leicester’s pizza delivery man

Leicester City boss Claudio Ranieri is ready to fulfil a promise of pizzas for his team if they are able to keep clean sheets.


The Foxes have surprised many with their superb run of results at the start of the season but they are yet to keep a clean sheet in any of their eight Premier League matches.

Fifth-laced Leicester travel to ninth-placed Southampton this weekend and Ranieri has offered his team some free pizzas if they are able to avoid conceding at Saint Mary´s.

Ranieri said: "It's very serious but for this reason I pay a pizza.

"I know it's very difficult to achieve this. I want to push my players and sooner or later I will pay.

"I prefer to win and concede a goal. It's important to bring points, it's important for us and we'll continue. Saturday will be tough, tough, tough."
