“If I had different agents, maybe some family help along the way, I could’ve done something more in my career,” he told reporters at the Festival della Serie A in Parma.

“I adapted to a few different situations, having to make do with what I had. First and foremost, I had fun, so much fun. For example, I didn’t know Spanish, English, French, I had to learn them all.”

He also said of his time with the Foxes: “I arrived with a team that had just about avoided relegation. I studied the whole squad, watched five or six games. I was eager to get back to England and changed several things, for example the system from 3-5-2 to 4-4-2.

“As time went on, I managed to introduce players who got into great shape, including Kante.”

Ranieri said of his time with Cagliari: “Sorry, but Cagliari remain in my heart and I would not change those two Cagliari experiences for my time in England.”
