Ranieri's 'love' for Italy job put on hold

Claudio Ranieri admits he would love to coach Italy one day but has committed his immediate future to a Leicester City side that, he believes, could spring a few surprises in next season's Champions League.

"I would never rule it out. I would love it. And Leicester's blue shirts are already quite similar to those of Italy," Ranieri said in a Gazzetta dello Sport interview on Tuesday.

As Leicester's fans continue to soak up the club's incredible title-winning feat, Ranieri's resounding achievement has made the 64-year-old the toast of his native Italy.
