Leicester City manager Claudio Ranieri has admitted that there is room for improvement after winning his first game in charge of the team.

The Foxes started their pre-season schedule on a positive note last night as they beat Lincoln City 3-1.

While conceding that his players are still short of fitness, Ranieri believes that his players could have been more clinical in front of goal.

"The performance was good, first of all because nobody is injured and that's important for me, and secondly because we won the match," the Italian told the club's official website.

"I think we created a lot of opportunities but it's important when you create these opportunities to stay calm in the last 20 minutes because we lost the last pass sometimes when there was another teammate in a good position to score a goal."

Leicester are back in pre-season action on Saturday when they make the trip to Mansfield Town.
