Ngolo Kante pays tribute to former coach, Claudio Ranieri

Ngolo Kante thanked his former manager, who brought him to England and made him a champion in his first year.

The central midfielder, who was sold to Chelsea for £30million in the summer, has a lot to thank Ranieri for after plucking him the obscurity of Caen and turning him into one of the most highly regarded players in world football.

And now he's paid tribute to his former boss on social media.

'Big thanks with emotion to M. Ranieri for all he has achieved: for the club, for the fans and for me,' Kante wrote, before then repeating the message in his native tongue.
