Claudio Ranieri, Leicester City manager:
Q – You do feel you’re here for the long term?
“I’d like to stay. If the chairman is happy, I’m happy. If the fans are happy, I’m happy.”

“When you have a very good chairman, sooner or later you build a good building. Maybe it’s a little longer some time, this time it was a little shorter, but that’s important. Everything start from the boss.”
(on appearing emotional after the win at Sunderland):
“Yes, no, it was stable. But when you see so many ladies, old ladies to come for Leicester. it’s unbelievable and for that moment I thought about them and I was so happy. I’m happy when the people is following us and they are happy. I didn’t cry, eh. The eyes was very shiny but not crying.”

“We have to fight. With a smile because our job is done. We are safe. You are laughing. That is true! That is true! That is a miracle, no? We are safe. No, because nobody remember the first match – ‘Ranieri was the first (manager) sacked, Leicester was the relegated (club)’.
Q – You remember.
“I remember very well.”
Q – How do you feel about that?
“I feel good,”
(on Jamie Vardy, Riyad Mahrez and N’Golo Kante being nominated for PFA Players’ Player of the Year award):
“I’m very very proud because they deserve it. They are doing fantastic performance every match and I hope one of them could win.
Q – Which one?
“I don’t know. They are three sons for me. If one win, one son, I am very happy.”
