Ranieri agrees new long-term deal with Leicester

According to 'Sky Sports', the Italian has agreed a new long-term deal with the Foxes and will officially sign the contract ahead of Leicester's Premier League opener with Hull City on Saturday.

Leicester chiefs are keen to keep Ranieri given the club's success last season. The British media outlet is also suggesting that 64-year-old's contract does not include a compensation clause, meaning that Ranieri will be able to leave the club for free should he desire to part with Leicester.

Ranieri masterminded Leicester's title win last season and ended up winning the League Manager's Association award in May.
