Claudio Ranieri: 'I want to retire at Leicester City'

Claudio Ranieri reveals plans to retire from football management when his work at Leicester City comes to an end.

Claudio Ranieri has revealed that Leicester City may be his last stop before retiring from football management.

The 63-year-old Italian replaced axed Nigel Pearson at the King Power Stadium in July, having previously worked in the Premier League at Chelsea.

Pearson had led the Foxes to safety against the odds last season, winning 41 points as they finished 14th, and Ranieri is keen to improve on that total this time around as he looks to implement a sense of stability.

"I would like to finish my career here," he is quoted as saying by The Independent. "If my career is long, not too short, I want to finish here.

"We are little but, slowly-slowly, step by step, we will increase and fight with the big teams. The Premier League is very hard, we are a little team but we want to be bigger.

"The chairman tells me, in the first two or three years, it is important to maintain at this level [the top flight] and to be stable. My first aim is to get one point more than last season."

Ranieri, who signed a three-year deal with City, has also managed the likes of Roma, Juventus, Inter Milan and Monaco in a coaching career that has spanned 29 years so far.
