Ahead of his return to Stamford Bridge, Juventus coach Claudio Ranieri insists he has a good relationship with Chelsea owner Roman Abramovich.

Despite the manner of his dismissal, Ranieri revealed to the Daily Mail: "I have very good memories.

"I have been back two or three times to watch games and Abramovich gave me a lot of hospitality.

"He said. 'This is your house, when you want, you can come here'.

"It was fantastic for me. It is difficult to know how I feel when I take my team there but when I think of Chelsea I open my heart.

"When I think of English football, my heart is open."
