Claudio Ranieri collected another prestigious accolade after being named the League Managers Association's (LMA) Manager of the Year on Monday.

The Italian was an obvious choice, having led relegation candidate Leicester City to championship in his first season at the club.

Ranieri's no-fuss approach took Leciester's more established Premier League contenders by surprise as they lost just three league matches all season on the way to claiming one of the greatest sporting triumphs.
