Ranieri backs Conte

LONDON. — Leicester City manager Claudio Ranieri believes Chelsea will be a revitalised force under his fellow Italian boss Antonio Conte.

Former Chelsea manager Ranieri took his current side to Stamford Bridge yesterday, with Leicester having dethroned the Stamford Bridge club as English Premier League soccer champions, having once been 5 000-1 colossal outsiders for the title.

Chelsea kicked-off against Leicester a huge 31 points behind the new champions.

It has been a season of upheaval for the west London club, who sacked former manager Jose Mourinho in December and then brought in Guus Hiddink for the Dutchman’s second spell in caretaker charge.

Yesterday’s match marked the end of Hiddink’s current Chelsea stint, with Italy manager Conte arriving at Stamford Bridge once his country’s Euro 2016 campaign in France is finished. — AFP.
