PHOTO:Claudio Ranieri honoured as knigh in Italy after Leicester City Premier League title win! congratulations to him
Claudio Ranieri after doing the
unthinkable with Leicester City in the English premiership this past season, is to be knighted in his home country, Italy for his shock Premier League title
triumph this season.
The 64-year-old masterminded one of
the biggest shocks in the history of the sport as his unfancied Leicester side
won their first ever English top flight title just a year after narrowly
surviving relegation.
And the former Chelsea
boss will now be granted the third highest ranking of Italian Knights
by president Sergio Mattarella for ‘merits acquired by the nation’ in
sports.
The title sits a level above what
Italy’s players received for World Cup wins in 1982 and 2006.
The Italian is also sure to go down
forever as a legend in Leicester, with a local couple recently naming their
daughter after him!
