My Take
Claudio Ranieri will always own one of sport's most goosebump-inducing achievements: dragging unfancied Leicester City to the 2015-16 Premier League title, perhaps the greatest upset football has ever seen. But what endears him to me runs deeper than that miracle. A Rome-born ex-player who spent decades journeying from club to club, he reached his crowning moment late in life with a gentlemanly warmth that's rare in the dugout. The pizza-as-reward story for a clean sheet says it all. Ranieri is, to me, the living embodiment of football's capacity for dreams.
