Spalletti congratulates Ranieri

The current Roma coach paid tribute to the former Giallorossi boss - in charge from September 2009 to February 2011 - via the club's Twitter account, claiming his compatriot's achievement in England is the greatest he can recall in the world of football.

The Foxes began the season aiming to stay up but end the campaign as shock champions for the first time in their history. They were mathematically assured of the league title on Monday evening, when challengers Tottenham Hotspur could only manage a draw at Chelsea. Leicester's own point at Manchester United the previous day proved enough to spark wild celebrations.
