Jose Mourinho: 'Claudio Ranieri deserves credit'

Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho believes that Claudio Ranieri deserves credit for Leicester City's form so far in the 2015-16 Premier League season.

Jose Mourinho has insisted that Claudio Ranieri deserves the credit for Leicester City's run at the start of the 2015-16 season in the Premier League.

The Foxes, who have lost just once so far this season, were at the top of the table heading into this weekend, and can regain top spot when they face Chelsea tomorrow.

The Blues manager, who took over from Ranieri at Stamford Bridge in 2004, told reporters: "Claudio deserves all the credit. When things go wrong, it's about managers and when things go well, it's about players. But please make a compensation with what you do to managers in trouble and put Claudio where he deserves.

"Leicester are now in a position where only three things can happen to them. One, they can be champions, which would be amazing. Another would be to finish top four, which again would be a super achievement. And the worst thing that can happen to them is to finish top six, which would be a phenomenal season, too."

Chelsea sit 15th in the table ahead of the match at the King Power Stadium.
