Claudio Ranieri has revealed his loyalties remain with his hometown club before Leicester travel to Roma in the Europa League semi-final on Thursday.
The Italian, 70, led the Foxes to their fairytale Premier League win in 2016. But Ranieri is also a born-and-bred Roma fan - and he has also coached the club twice. And he told Gazzetta dello Sport: “But what are you asking me? The relationship with Leicester was a professional fact, but supporting Roma takes me back to being a child. I can't betray them.
“I will go to the stadium. And I will remember the times I used to go to the Curva. Do you know how old I was when I went on my first away trip? I was 12 or 13. I went to Florence with a cousin on a fan bus which left from Flaminio.”
