Leicester City's Italian coach made his own bit of history on Saturday, Claudio Ranieri reaching his 100th victory as a coach in the Premier League after the Foxes 2-1 victory against Swansea.
The win also puts him as fifth most successful foreign coach in the English top flight.
Arsene Wenger (435 victories)
Rafael Benitez (144 victories)
Jose Mourinho (142 victories)
Gerard Houllier (118 victories)
Claudio Ranieri (100 victories)
He came to the Premier League to coach Chelsea in 2000. He left in 2004 after 76 wins but last season rewrote Leicester's history to put him to within a victory of the magical mark.
The protagonist for Chelsea's leap forward
The Blues were a sinking ship that had started badly in the league and had players like Gianfranco Zola, Gustavo Poyet and John Terry..
In his first year he managed to turn things around and the team qualified for the former UEFA Cup. Results steadily improved and then came the arrival of Roman Abramovich in 2003.
2000-2001 season (6th place / 16 victories)
2001-2002 season (6th place / 17 victories)
2002-2003 season (4th place / 19 victories)
2003-2004 season (2nd place / 24 victories)
His time at Chelsea ended with the conclusion of the 2003/04 campaign. He left the team after qualifying for the Champions League, his place taken by Jose Mourinho who had just completed a treble with Porto.
History with Leicester
In his second stint in England, Ranieri wrote one of the most remarkable stories of modern football. He took a Leicester side who were relegation candidates from the previous season to win the Premier League against all odds.
On their way to the title, the Foxes managed 23 wins, including at the Etihad Stadium and White Hart Lane. The Italian's centenary victory came after a shaky start to 2016/17, losing the Community Shield against Manchester United and earning just a single point in the first two matchdays of the season./ShikoNews
