Leicester's Premier League Title Is A One-Off- Claudio Ranieri

Claudio Ranieri said he does not think Leicester will be able to replicate their Premier League triumph. Barely 12 hours after the Foxes were confirmed as champions following Tottenham's 2-2 draw at Chelsea, the 64years old opened up about his club's stunning campaign and hopes for the future.

Asked if Leicester could repeat their glory, the former Juventus and Rome manager said no, but insisted his target was to develop the team for the long term. He said “We want to continue to build, when I came here, the project was to build a very good foundation and slowly, slowly to grow up together in three to four years to fight for the Europa League and slowly come to fight for the Champions League. Now the season is out of our project but of course, the foundation is very solid. We know very well we have to fight for the position but we want to do our best. I'm positive and I want to fight. I don't want to sell anybody though, but of course if some players don't want to stay with us because they are unhappy to continue with us, then I don't want unhappy people. We are looking to reinforce the team but with the same mentality, because this is my mentality and this is their mentality. We all linked very well together. Whoever comes in must know we are working hard”.

Ranieri's appointment last year was questioned by many critics, with the Italian having just been axed as head coach of Greece. The transformation at the King Power Stadium, though, has been nothing less than phenomenal as the Foxes became champions of England for the first time in their 132-year history
