Jose Mourinho congratulates Leicester City on Premier League title win

Jose Mourinho congratulates Claudio Ranieri's "magic moment" after the Italian guided Leicester City to the Premier League title.

Jose Mourinho has congratulated Leicester City for winning the Premier League title one year after the Portuguese coach lifted the trophy with Chelsea.

The 53-year-old, who was sacked by Chelsea in December, replaced Claudio Ranieri at Stamford Bridge in his first stint with the Blues in 2004.

In 2010, Mourinho described Ranieri as a "loser", but has given his congratulations after the Italian transformed Leicester from relegation battlers to English champions for the first time in the club's 132-year history.

Mourinho told CAA Sports: "I want to congratulate everyone connected to Leicester - players, staff, owners and fans.

"I lost my title to Claudio Ranieri and it is with incredible emotion that I live this magic moment in his career."

The Foxes' title win was confirmed last night when Chelsea restricted Tottenham Hotspur to a 2-2 draw at Stamford Bridge.

Leicester captain Wes Morgan will lift the trophy with his teammates following Saturday evening's match against Everton.
