Leicester City manager Claudio Ranieri insists his team will not ‘do a Chelsea’ and collapse following their Premier League title win.
The Blues won the league in 2014-15, but slumped to a disastrous 10th-place finish last season – winning only 12 of 38 matches – with Jose Mourinho sacked in December and Guus Hiddink seeing the club through to the end of the campaign.
Following their shock Premier League win, Ranieri’s men are again being written off – the bookmakers’ have them as seventh favourites to come out on top – but the Italian maintains that his team will not crumble.
“When I build something, it is never destroyed,” the 64-year-old told reporters ahead of Sunday’s Community Shield against Manchester United at Wembley.
