I have a dream: Claudio Ranieri has a vision for his future at Manchester City

Ranieri said: "European coach is written on my passport, a label which I carry with pride.

"Right now, English soccer is an unbelievable showcase. There are seven-eight top-level teams. It's like it was years ago in Italy.
