Claudio Ranieri says he could have left Leicester last season

Leicester boss Claudio Ranieri has claimed he could have left the Foxes last summer but insisted he is committed to saving the club from the drop.

The 65-year-old was linked to the Italy job after winning a shock Premier League title with Leicester last season.

But, ahead of tonight’s Champions League last 16 tie at Sevilla, he now sees the Foxes fighting relegation — they sit one point above the drop zone.
