You may like We havent heard anything from the club about a 10-year reunion for our Premier League title, but the lads are chatting and we'll have one if we can help Leicester City during a difficult time, we would Ex-Foxes star tells FFT about anniversary plans He'd often give me little warnings when I wasn't playing well Nani on playing under Manchester United icon Sir Alex Ferguson 'Sir Alex Ferguson never forgives me' Manchester United legend STILL hasn't buried the hatchet with Premier League icon Claudio Ranieri reveals what Sir Alex Ferguson said to him after 2016 title winClaudio Ranieri was the man who oversaw the ultimate underdog tale, and while he left the bulk of the celebrating to the players, he enjoyed it in his own way.One of the most special moments for the Italian manager was a call from one of the Premier Leagues best, Sir Alex Ferguson.Peter Drury narrating Leicester Citys Premier league title lift will never get old Claudio Ranieri has announced his retirement from the game, but well have this memory of an incredible achievement FOREVER. pic.twitter.com/yVAREdeTVPMay 22, 2024I remember that the week after we won the title, Sir Alex Ferguson called me, Ranieri tells FourFourTwo now, almost a decade on. He said, Well done, Claudio, the most important thing you did was never let the team feel the burden of responsibility I watched you in interviews, you were always calm, always smiling.Hearing those words from somebody like Sir Alex meant an enormous amount to me.Get FourFourTwo NewsletterThe best features, fun and footballing quizzes, straight to your inbox every week.Contact me with news and offers from other Future brandsReceive email from us on behalf of our trusted partners or sponsorsBy submitting your information you agree to the Terms & Conditions and Privacy Policy and are aged 16 or over.Another of the former Foxes mans favourite memories is of Andrea Bocelli singing at the King Power Stadium on the day the club were presented with the Premier League trophy.If I think about the fact that a week later [after winning the title, Andrea Bocelli came to sing for us the day the trophy was presented at the stadium, I realise that the planets truly aligned that year, Ranieri said. Around Easter, Andrea had called completely out of the blue, telling me we were doing something extraordinary and that hed love to sing for us.It felt like a circle closing, something magical that was meant to happen. What to read next When the news arrived of Sergio Agueros winner against QPR, that killed us. We would rather have lost the title by several points Nani on Manchester Uniteds infamous 2011/12 Premier League title defeat Philippe Albert speaks exclusively to FourFourTwo about his famous chip against Manchester United 30 years on Cheltenham Festival: Which horses do Harry Redknapp and Sir Alex Ferguson have at the Gold Cup? Perhaps less magical was the site of Gary Lineker, in his underwear, hosting Match of the Day on the first day of the next season, as part of a promise he made on air during his boyhood clubs incredible campaign.Gary is a fantastic person and it was hilarious for everyone, Ranieri said. He said in good humour and honoured it in the same spirit.It was an unforgettable period, but would you believe that Ive never seen the footage of what we did again? I keep that in my heart, just like the day at the stadium with Andrea.Many books have been written about our miracle, but Ive never felt the need to relive it in detail. Ill read those books when I finally stop working.TOPICSLeicester CityPremier LeagueIsaac Stacey StrongeSocial Links NavigationFreelance WriterIsaac Stacey Stronge is a freelance football writer working for FourFourTwo, Manchester United and Football League World.
