Claudio Ranieri appointed new Leicester City manager
• Italian succeeds Nigel Pearson in charge of the Foxes
• Leicester opt for former Chelsea and Inter manager on three-year deal

Claudio Ranieri has been appointed first team manager at Leicester, the club have announced. The Italian, who has previously been in charge of Chelsea, Juventus, Internazionale, among many others, has been given a three-year deal.

“I’m so glad to be here in a club with such a great tradition as Leicester City,” said Ranieri. “I have worked at many great clubs, in many top leagues, but since I left Chelsea I have dreamt of another chance to work in the best league in the world again.

“I wish to thank the owner, his son and all the executives of the club for the opportunity they are giving me. Now I’ve only one way for returning their trust: squeeze all my energies to getting the best results for the team.”

Had Neil Lennon down for that one

Ranieri... interesting, possible disaster coming their way

 

[Oncy]

WOAH!

 

[hmmmmm1]

Amazed this guy gets so many top jobs.

Chancer

He amuses me, but he's rubbish.

@rioferby5: For Chelsea fans wondering who the new Leicester manager is, he is the guy who used to manage your club before you started supporting it.

Holy fuck, he hasn't got another job has he? Sweet Jesus.

I've said this on here before, and I'll say it again...

Claudio Ranieri is the single greatest fucking fraud in football history. How in the name of God does that guy still keep getting jobs? It's truly remarkable.

Here's who he's coached - check this fucking list out:

Napoli
Fiorentina
Valencia
Ateltico Madrid
Chelsea
Fiorentina
Parma
Juventus
Roma
Inter Milan
Monaco
Greece

And here's what he's won in those 24 years at the above clubs:

1 Coppa Italia - 1996
1 Copa Del Rey - 1999
1 Intertoto Cup - 1998
1 Ligue 2 (not Ligue 1, Ligue 2) - 2013

That cunt must be the greatest salesman in the history of football.

Much rather his post-game ramblings than that tool Pearson. Nailed on to get relegated.

I never really thought they'd get O'Neill to go back there, and TBH I'd have been surprised if Lennon had left Bolton this early, but there have to have been better options than the Tinkerman, Allardyce for example (can't abide the fat cnut but he'd have kept them up long enough to have a shot at establishing themselves)

 

[gkmacca]

Do you remember when he first went to Chelsea and couldn't speak English, so, ludicrously, they got that fat bloke Gary Staker to act as translator for MOTD interviews, even though it soon became painfully obvious Staker's only Italian was 'pepperoni pizza'. Ranieri would waffle away for a couple of minutes and then Staker, dead pan, would say: 'he said it was a game of two halves'. They should do something like that now.
