Claudio Ranieri plays down Leicester City title bid

By , Reporter
Claudio Ranieri rules out the possibility of Leicester City winning the 2015-16 edition of the Premier League.

Claudio Ranieri has ruled out the prospect of Leicester City winning the Premier League this season.

The Foxes sit top of the table, one point clear of second-placed Manchester United following a rip-roaring campaign which has yielded eight wins and four draws from 13 outings.

However, the Italian, who used to manage Chelsea, insists that winning the title is not his primary objective this season.

"It's a great satisfaction, but I feel serene," he is quoted as saying by The Mirror. "Leicester City are constructed in a way to reach other objectives, not to win the Premier League."

City host United at the King Power Stadium on Saturday.
