Leicester City’s manager, Claudio Ranieri, says he wants fellow Italian, Antonio Conte, to win the English Premier League title with current leaders, Chelsea.
The 65-year-old Ranieri led the Foxes to a surprise league title last season, but his side are currently 15th, 31 points behind his former club.
Ranieri said: “As a former Chelsea coach and as an Italian supporter, I hope that Conte can achieve the goal.
“He has shown that the Italian school of coaches is valid more than ever.”
Ranieri is contracted to Leicester until 2020, but accepts his long-term future at the club is not safe, in spite of his success last season.
He said: “I hope to remain in England.
“I’m good here. Even though in football one day you are in the stars and the next day (you are) in the dust, so never say never.”
