While the 72-year-old has left management, the ex-Leicester City Premier League winning manager is not done with the sport.

“I miss the adrenaline of football a bit and I have received a few phone calls, even from Italy,” Ranieri told Gazzetta dello Sport. 

“I admit I was tempted to come back right away, but in the end I resisted.

“My idea remains the same as at the end of May. I'm waiting for an adventure that excites me, something fun, preferably a European national team. 

“At club level I think I'm done, but then you know how strange football is. Never say never.”
