Claudio Ranieri: What more can I do to help Leicester win title?
Sunday 24 April 2016 19:43, UK
Claudio Ranieri says he will not be happy if Leicester miss out on the Premier League title but insists he can do nothing more.
The Foxes face Swansea, live on Super Sunday on Sky Sports 1HD, with four games ahead of them to decide the title with second-place Tottenham, who are five points behind.
Ranieri has never won a league championship - he was a runner-up with Chelsea in 2004, Juventus in 2009, Roma in 2010 and Monaco in 2014 - and he is aware this fact may be highlighted in the final months of the season.

Ranieri said: "I know there are people out there who, if I don't win the title, will say: 'Ah, Ranieri, he always comes second.'
"But look at my career. I was second at Chelsea but we had started to build a team during the previous year. I continued to buy people during the first matches during the Premier League and Champions League. We came second.
"At Roma, I was second. I arrived after two matches. We had zero points and we finished with 80 points. Inter had 82. What can I do? I lost but what more could I do?
"I arrived at Juventus the first year after Serie B. We were third, then second. I had four or five champions but others were young players. What more could I do?
"With Monaco, we won the second division. Then we finished behind Paris St Germain, second by eight points.
"Now, I try to win this. I won't be happy if we finish second. What can I do? We are doing a fantastic job here."
