Leicester City manager Claudio Ranieri won the Premier League last season after Chelsea’s ill-tempered 2-2 draw with Tottenham tagged “The Battle of the Brige” and the ex-Chelsea manager is hoping Antonio Conte can succeed him as a Premier League title-winning manager this season.

“As former Chelsea coach and as an Italian supporter, I hope that Conte can achieve the goal (of winning the Premier League),” Ranieri said.

Chelsea are currently 7-points clear at the summit of the Premier League.
